Agreed, I've repeatedly suggested to simply point out it is up to the
scheme to define how the unicode sequences are encoded in the message.
This is what XMLHttpRequest says. It just has UTF-8 as fallback in
case the authentication scheme doesn't define anything. (Which per
Julian shouldn't affect this case so I'm not sure what the issue is.)
Well, you yourself claimed that the defaulting applies to Basic; and
that XHR implementations use UTF-8.
So are you disagreeing that this is confusing, if you were confused
yourself just a few hours ago?
Can you give an example of an authentication scheme to which the
defaulting *would* apply?
You're right. I removed the encoding sentence leaving it up to the
relevant specifications.
