Heaven help us. :D
What would you think of UTF-8 encoded as Base32, Base64 or URL encoded?
> JAXRS server: allow passwords with special chars (MIME encoded words)

> Key: TIKA-2858
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2858
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: server
> Affects Versions: 1.20
> Reporter: Ross Johnson
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: protected - 4 space password.pdf, protected - Unicode
> password.pdf
>
>
> Tika Server allows passing a document password in a special {{Password}}
> request header; however, I don't believe this header allows for passwords
> with non-US-ASCII characters, or for passwords with leading or trailing
> spaces.
> One potential solution would be to allow MIME encoded-word values (RFC 2047)
> in the password header so that one could specify any password with only
> US-ASCII. This extra decoding could be enabled / disabled with some other
> flag or header value, in order to avoid any breaking changes for clients that
> are not encoding this header (e.g. if the password happens to literally be
> "{{=?UTF-8?B??=}}").
> Attached are 2 sample PDF files that I'm unable to use with TIka Server due
> to their passwords. These passwords are a bit contrived, but I have come
> across this issue with real passwords. I've included the passwords in code
> blocks to avoid the issue editor / viewer from collapsing multiple spaces
> into one.
> The file named "{{protected - 4 space password.pdf}}" has a password of 4
> literal spaces:
> {code:java}
> // Password is on line below (4 literal spaces)
>
> {code}
> The file named "{{protected - Unicode password.pdf}}" has a password of
> mostly special characters, with 2 leading spaces and 2 trailing spaces thrown
> in for good measure:
> {code:java}
> // Password is on following line (with 2 leading spaces, 2 trailing spaces)
> ! < > " \ € œ ¤ ¼ ½ 𠜎 𩶘 😀
