@iilyak We don't unquote usernames during authz because they are in a base64-encoded blob in the `"Authorization" : "Basic ..."` headers so there is no reason to quote them. When they are specified as the userinfo part of the URL some characters cannot be represented in that section of the URL, so they users would percent-encode (quote) them. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
