Michael Osipov commented on WAGON-538:
--------------------------------------
That's weird it is still present in 4.5.x in
{{RFC2617Scheme#getCredentialsCharset(HttpRequest)}}. Did you enable logging
and check for the base 64 value?
The SO answer is from The Oleg. I am a core committer of HttpClient too, but
very low activity.
Can you try to set a break point in your IDE on that spot. It should actually
have been set, if not this may be a bug in Wagon.
> Basic authentication fails if the password contains non-ascii characters

> Key: WAGON-538
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WAGON-538
> Project: Maven Wagon
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Aleksander Gjermundsen
> Priority: Major
>
> If the username and/or password used to authenticate to Nexus contains
> non-ascii characters, the authentication fails with an access denied error.
> After using Wireshark to investigate the headers being sent (in my case "Ø",
> any non-ascii characters are replaced with "?".
> To test, I have used the following configuration:
> {code:java}
> <settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0";
> xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
> xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0
> http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd";>
> ...
> <servers>
> <server>
> <id>artifactory</id>
> <username>userØ</username>
> <password>userØ</password>
> </server>
> </servers>
> ...
> <mirrors>
> <mirror>
> <id>nexus</id>
> <mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
> <name>Local Nexus</name>
> <url>http://localhost:8081/repository/maven-public</url>
> </mirror>
> </mirrors>
> ...
> </settings>{code}
> The settings.xml file is saved using UTF-8 encoding and it appears that Maven
> reads the username and passwords correctly into strings, but Apache
> HttpClient do not encode the UTF-8 characters when encoding them into base64.
> I did a quick patch of Wagon to make it work for my use case, where
> HttpClient is configured to encode as UTF-8. As is mentioned in MNG-5917, it
> is not completely clear from the standards how these characters are supposed
> to be handled, but on my system both wget and the Chrome web browser encode
> the characters the same way as after my patch and are able to download files
> from Nexus.
> Since Artifactory was used in MNG-5917, I also tested against that, but in
> contrast to Maven it was not able to decode the username and password
> correctly, however it would be broken without the patch anyway.
