             Summary: Switch to modern-day encoding (UTF-8) of auth credentials
                 Key: WAGON-540
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WAGON-540
             Project: Maven Wagon
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: wagon-http
    Affects Versions: 3.2.0
            Reporter: Michael Osipov
            Assignee: Michael Osipov
             Fix For: 3.2.1


These days people use non-ASCII encodings for usernames and password. While 
other auth schemes like NTLM or Kerberos use Unicode by default, Basic and 
Digest were restricted to ASCII or ISO-8859-1 for a long time. Major browsers 
(Chrome + FF) now have switched to UTF-8. We should do that too.
