NOTE: this will add additional log messages that will include user/password information in your logs... but it'll also give you a better idea of what's going on. I've found a couple cases where this type of error occurs: 1) A browser or server putting the base64 value in "" 2) A browser URL escaping + and / characters as %2b and %2d This patch takes care of the second... I ran into the first only when I changed authentication to read a cookie, so it shouldn't be a problem for Auth Basic. If it is, you'll see it in the logs.
