RFC 7617 introduces a new
charsetparameter for the Basic authentication scheme with a single allowed value "UTF-8".Clients that comply to this RFC should encode the user name and password using UTF-8 if the parameter is present. Clients that always use UTF-8 obviously comply to this rule.
Up until now Log4j used the system encoding for Basic authentication. This PR:
log4j2.configurationAuthorizationEncodingproperty to overwrite the default value.This problem was detected by Error Prone in #1961.
