Hi, I recall that we discussed non-ASCII characters in basic auth credentials over a year ago (around <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2006JulSep/0103.html>). It seems the consensus was that as long as you're only dealing with ISO-8859-1, things are simply, as those are allowed in HTTP headers when using the TEXT BNF rule. However, everything else would then require RFC2047-style escaping. So do we have any evidence that this works in practice? Did anybody test this yet? BR, Julian
