FYI and so it's archived:

<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2831#page-5> defines a "charset" 
parameter for Digest/SASL. This is *very* similar to what my draft 
proposes for Basic and Digest in HTTP; maybe it should simply align with 
that.

Best regards, Julian

Allow utf-8 encoded username in digest authentication response header.

This patch allows the http digest authentication module to send back utf8
encoded username in the response header in order to enable support for
non-ascii usernames.
It can be enabled by setting the
"network.auth.digest-response-header-username-utf8" flag to true in the FF
config (about:config).

the patch could be improved by using the charset parameter as defined in RFC
2831, even if the flag is not set. I can probably do if it is asked.
