I did a lot of tracing and source code reading and always found the
String.getBytes("UTF-8") method call when strings had to be converted to byte
arrays.
One example is the method that Maven uses to encrypt a password via "mvn
-ep/-emp":
https://github.com/sonatype/plexus-cipher/blob/master/src/main/java/org/sonatype/plexus/components/cipher/PBECipher.java
So this is just my experience which is, of course, limited. It just seems to
me that many developers use this way to convert strings to bytes in Java.
Go uses UTF-8 as its standard string encoding.
Ruby's standard string encoding is UTF-8.
Kind regards.

"the standard encoding for Java is UTF-8 in Basic Authentication" - says who?
I'd really like to know, because I plan to revise the RFC in the not-so-distant
future.
> FWIW, our repo server (which is Artifactory) expects UTF-8.
Best regards, Julian
