Umlauts used in password for BASIC authentication are not serialized correctly

                 Key: AXIS2-3486
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-3486
             Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.3
         Environment: Client: Windowx XP x64; using Eclipse 3.3.1.1
Webserver: Windows Server 2003, IIS
            Reporter: Martin Landl
            Priority: Minor


I use BASIC authentication to authenticate on my webserver. I use a 
org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator to 
provide the credentials for my service client.

Everything works fine, when I use a passwort containing no umlauts. But when I 
use - for example - this password: "öäü", I get an 401 http error.

I investigated using wireshark and I decoded the base64 encoded authentication 
http header. The result with this password was:
MyUsername: ???
instead of the expected
MyUsername: öäü

(I double-checked the header, so that I could be sure that those "?" chars were 
no simple problem with my text editor).
