Bug ID: 66175
Summary: Consider changing BasicAuthenticator to default to
charset="UTF"
Product: Tomcat 10
Version: 10.1.0-M17
Hardware: PC
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: knst.koli...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ------
A support for using UTF-8 with BasicAuthenticator has already been implemented
since Tomcat 9.0.0 (in September 2017) - Bug 61280.
I think we may consider to change the default in BasicAuthenticator to be UTF-8
nowadays, for Tomcat 10.1 onwards.
Testing with Firefox 102 (see my comment in bug 66174), it does accept the
charset=UTF-8 parameter in the value of a WWW-Authenticate response header.
Moreover, regardless of whether such charset parameter was present is a
response header, Firefox encodes the credentials of a subsequent request with
UTF-8. The BasicAuthenticator by default expects ISO-8859-1 and cannot decode
them. - Tested with Apache Tomcat 9.0.65 and the manager web application.
