Encoding of http basic passwords

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use an umlaut for a password. example:
given().
   auth().basic("someUser", "äöüß").
expect().
   statusCode(200).
when().
   post("/someUrl");

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would like an option to set the character encoding of the authentication 
credentials. I have already set the encoderConfig and decoderConfig to use 
UTF-8 as the default content charset.
I couldnt find an appropriate option yet. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Rest Assured 1.7
Operating system Windows 7

Additional info:
The authentication gets rejected by the server.
If I use a password without any umlaute the euthentication is successful.

Interesting! As a work-around try using auth().preemptive().basic(..) and see 
if you run into the same error.

Thanks for reporting.

I already did try that. The result is the same.
