Changing the encoding for .htaccess from utf-8 to iso-8859-1 solves the
problem but I'd like to support utf-8.
It takes a bit of backtracing through all the RFCs to find an
authoritative answer to this.
RFC2616#14.47: References RFC2617 (via a footnote reference)
RFC2617#1.2: realm-value = quoted-string
.. so back to 2616 for a definition of quoted-string ..
RFC2616#2.2
quoted-string = ( <"> *(qdtext | quoted-pair ) <"> )
qdtext = <any TEXT except <">>
.. and ..
Words
of *TEXT MAY contain characters from character sets other than ISO-
8859-1 [22] only when encoded according to the rules of RFC 2047
[14].
Gah, another RFC: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2047.html
I'm not familliar with that one, and it doesn't look pretty, but I
hope this hopes to get you closer to an answer.
Thanks, but unfortunately MIME encoding the realm name doesn't help:
AuthName =?utf-8?B?5pel5pys6aaZ5aCC?=
This must be a UA problem - none of IE/FF/Opera decodes the name, they
must've forgotten to read rfc2617. :)
I know most UAs understand MIME encoding in UTF-8 filenames, which is a
quoted-string too:
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="=?utf-8?B?5pel5pys6aaZ5aCC?="
