[AXIS2] Authorization header - User/Pass

Hi,

In axis2 the http Authorization header is passed in the header info map
along with the other header info. Two things are missing from an usability
perspective 1) the username and password are base64 encoded and axis2
doesn't have the base64 util package included so one has to import the
required jar from axis1 2) it would be better if the HTTP Authorization
header (user/pass)could be decoded right when the headers are taken from the
request and put in the messageContext, currently
org.apache.axis.handlers.http.HTTPAuthHandler is available in axis1 to do
this, can we have something similar.

Thanks
Soumadeep
