Blank page in safari when pw contains ! #46

Funny Story 🙂

app.use(basicAuth({ users: { 'admin': 'supersecret' } }))

When the supersecret contains an exclamation mark Safari shows a blank page 🙂 question marks for example work. The issue does not appear on any android Version but on every ios Version ^^ maybe the internal base64 is messed up by special special characters?

Can not reproduce with other clients, so this seems to be a safari issue. Please comment again if you have indication that this is actually a server side problem.
