ppkarwasz opened a new pull request, #1970: URL: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/pull/1970
[RFC 7617](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7617) introduces a new `charset` parameter for the Basic authentication scheme with a single allowed value "UTF-8". Clients that comply to this RFC should encode the user name and password using UTF-8 if the parameter is present. Clients that **always** use UTF-8 obviously comply to this rule. Up until now Log4j used the system encoding for Basic authentication. This PR: - switches the default encoding to UTF-8, - adds a `log4j2.configurationAuthorizationEncoding` property to overwrite the default value. This problem was detected by Error Prone in #1961. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
