For HTML form submissions, unless the author indicated something else, web browsers tend to use the character encoding of the document that in- cludes the form to encode the characters; they could apply the same logic to the submission of credentials when there is such a document (e.g., the user clicked a link to a HTTP Auth protected page, the page with the link could then be used to determine some encoding). Based on my limited testing, I found this to be not the case. -- Björn Höhrmann ˇ mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de ˇ http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
