Hello,
We are using apache commons HttpClient library (commons-httpclient-3.1.jar).
Users are providing username and password that has multibyte characters in
it. Base64 encoding of the mutlitbyte characters in HttpClient doesn’t seem
to be working.
Below API’s are used:
Credentials credents = new
UsernamePasswordCredentials(userId, password);
m_httpState.setCredentials(realm, m_host, credents);
m_httpClient.executeMethod(m_hostConf,httpmethod,m_httpState);
I have a text
test1:测试组:Designer:test1
Capturing the network trace from the client that uses the above jar (note:
the authorization header):
HEAD /tc/FileAccess/ HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: DAKCLIENT/7.0
Accept-Language: zh-CN
Authorization: Basic dGVzdDE6Pz8/OkRlc2lnbmVyOnRlc3Qx
Host: ahi6w033:8888
Using the online Base64 decoder utility
(http://www.opinionatedgeek.com/dotnet/tools/Base64Decode/Default.aspx) ,
passing dGVzdDE6Pz8/OkRlc2lnbmVyOnRlc3Qx results the decoding to be
test1:???:Designer:test1 (note: ???)
Using the online encoder utility: test1:测试组:Designer:test1 gets Base64
encoded as :
dGVzdDE65rWL6K+V57uEOkRlc2lnbmVyOnRlc3Qx
This makes me believe that Base64 encodign in common’s apache isn’t working
correctly.
Please help and advice.
Thanks..
Usha
