It takes a bit of backtracing through all the RFCs to find an authoritative answer to this. RFC2616#14.47: References RFC2617 (via a footnote reference) RFC2617#1.2: realm-value = quoted-string .. so back to 2616 for a definition of quoted-string .. RFC2616#2.2 quoted-string = ( <"> *(qdtext | quoted-pair ) <"> ) qdtext = <any TEXT except <">> .. and .. Words of *TEXT MAY contain characters from character sets other than ISO- 8859-1 [22] only when encoded according to the rules of RFC 2047 [14]. Gah, another RFC: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2047.html I'm not familliar with that one, and it doesn't look pretty, but I hope this hopes to get you closer to an answer. -- noodl --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
