Since nobody else has commented yet ... I think (but do not know for sure) that the Restlet implementation normally decodes and encodes the Authorization header bits using UTF-8. As long as both client and server are using UTF-8, you should be able to use any characters you like. I do have an account password that contains Þ and à for one of my Restlet applications, which works, but that doesn't really prove anything.
Are you writing a client-side or server-side Restlet? (I'm guessing client-side from the error - it originates in the HTTPClient library) Does it work successfully with other passwords and just not this one? Any fragmentary code you can supply to give a little more context? - R ----- Original Message ----- From: "zze-Projet C&C Foundation LECLERC L ext RD-BIZZ-CAE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2007 3:35:26 AM (GMT-0500) America/New_York Subject: Password with accent Password with accent Hello, ChallengeResponse challengeResponse = new ChallengeResponse(ChallengeScheme. HTTP_BASIC , utilisateur.getEmail() , utilisateur.getPwd()); Is it possible to have accents in a Password inside the ChallengeResponse ? And if it's possible how encode this password ? Actually, when a password contains accents, the user can't connect to the wiki. I have this error : <Authentication requested but doAuthentication is disabled> and i'm sure to have the good password. Thanks.
