A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Authentication Working Group of the IETF. Title : An Encoding Parameter for HTTP Basic Authentication Author : Julian F. Reschke Filename : draft-ietf-httpauth-basicauth-enc-02.txt Pages : 10 Date : 2014-02-04 Abstract: The "Basic" authentication scheme defined in RFC 2617 does not properly define how to treat non-ASCII characters. This has led to a situation where user agent implementations disagree, and servers make different assumptions based on the locales they are running in. There is little interoperability for the non-ASCII characters in the ISO-8859-1 character repertoire, and even less interoperability for any characters beyond that. This document defines a backwards-compatible extension to "Basic", specifying the server's character encoding scheme expectation, using a new authentication scheme parameter. The IETF datatracker status page for this draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-httpauth-basicauth-enc/ There's also a htmlized version available at: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpauth-basicauth-enc-02 A diff from the previous version is available at: http://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-httpauth-basicauth-enc-02 Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
