RFC 2617 does not seem to define what charset encoding can be used for BASIC user credentials. Basic password can consist of octets except control characters.This seems to imply ISO-8859-1. 2 Basic Authentication Scheme --- basic-credentials = base64-user-pass base64-user-pass = base64 [4] encoding of user-pass, except not limited to 76 char/line user-pass = userid : password userid = *TEXT excluding : password= *TEXT --- --- TEXT = any OCTET except CTLs, but including LWS --- Anyways, HttpClient can be configured to use any charset encoding supported by JRE by using http.protocol.credential-charset parameter.
