> This PR's changes to the charset field adhere to RFC 7617, specifically section [2.1](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7617#section-2.1) ensuring compliance with 'UTF-8' as the sole allowed value This appears to refer to _server_ challenges (`WWW-Authenticate`). For clients, the intro of the 2.0 section states: > The original definition of this authentication scheme failed to specify the character encoding scheme used to convert the user-pass into an octet sequence. In practice, most implementations chose either a locale-specific encoding such as [ISO-8859-1](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7617#ref-ISO-8859-1) ([ISO-8859-1]), or UTF-8 ([[RFC3629](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3629)]). For backwards compatibility reasons, this specification continues to leave the default encoding undefined, as long as it is compatible with US-ASCII (mapping any US-ASCII character to a single octet matching the US-ASCII character code). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
