Mozilla uses UTF-8. I also tried with Safari and Mac IE. Neither of them work against the Apache digest authentication, so I cannot tell what they are using.

To test this problem I'm using Apache HTTPD 2.0.40. I tried using Tomcat, but was unable to get it working with Digest. It seems that Apache uses UTF-8 to encode the user name and password. Not only does this mean that UTF-8 must be used when calculating the digest, it also means that the Authorization header must be sent as UTF-8. This is due to the fact that the digest username is sent as a header parameter. When using Basic authentication I was unable to use non-ASCII characters with Apache.

It would be interesting to see which encoding is used by the Mozilla and IE. Have you checked that too, Mike?
