        Title           : An Encoding Parameter for HTTP Basic Authentication

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.
