How to get user:password from page header?

[Andrew Guts]

Hi all,

I am porting an old CGI application to JSP/servlets. I need to port user authentication code also. But getHeader("authorization") returns encoded string like "Basic YW5kcmV3Og==". How to get original value like USER:PASSWORD ?

Thanks ahead

Andrew
