[jira] [Commented] (MNG-5917) Saved password with umlaut breaks deployment

["Vitaly Sidorov (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5917?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15360047#comment-15360047 ] 

Vitaly Sidorov commented on MNG-5917:
-------------------------------------

For Artifactory authentication in a browser and in the maven-deploy-plugin works in different ways.
Authentication in the browser uses Form Authentication and therefore works correctly with umlauts.
Authentication maven-deploy-plugin works via Basic Authentication. (Maven-deploy-plugin -> Maven Wagon -> commons-http-client -> Basic Authentication)
Server with Basic Authentication supports according to standard only encoding "ISO-8859-1". Reaction to the other encodings is undefined.

So it's not a bug maven. Artifactory does not support UTF-8 encoding via Basic Authentication.

> My password to Artifactory contains a german umlaut (äöüÄÖÜß).  I saved it either encrypted and plain to settings.xml. 
> When I run release:perform the deployment breaks because artifactory refuses the password. 
> I had a look with wireshark and the credentials contain a '?' where the umlaut should be. 
> Logging in to artifactory using the web interfaces works with the password.
