             Summary: Credentials charset for DigestScheme can not be 
configured any more
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-2106
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2106
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HttpClient (classic)
    Affects Versions: 5.0.1
            Reporter: synth3


I am currently migrating from hc 4.x to hc 5.0.1 and faced a Problem:

In hc 4.x I was able to set the credentials charset to use for digest auth by 
creating a "DigestSchemeFactory" using this constructor: 
[https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/httpclient/apidocs/org/apache/http/impl/auth/DigestScheme.html#DigestScheme(java.nio.charset.Charset)]
 and adding the instance to a "AuthSchemeRegistry" which I set as default for 
the client instance to use.

 

This is no longer possible, but probably needed when e.g. a password contains 
characters outside of "ISO-8859-1" (the current internal default for 
DigestScheme).

 

A possible (unattractive) workaround would be copying alot of code (implement a 
own "DigestSchemeFactory", overwrite 
"org.apache.hc.client5.http.impl.auth.DigestScheme.generateAuthResponse(HttpHost,
 HttpRequest, HttpContext)" and copy/modify 
"org.apache.hc.client5.http.impl.auth.DigestScheme.createDigestResponse(HttpRequest)").

 

Also: Is there a Place where I find information that helps me to understand the 
decisions made for hc 5?
