I am trying to find information on the encoding of the basic authentication header, I know that it used base64 encoding for transmitting over the wire but there is also other encoding once the bytes are decoded. Heres a couple of questions.
1.) if I have a chinese OS using a browser with a char set of GB2312 encoding, this browser will be connecting to a machine with CP1252 windows default j2ee server in north america, how is the encoding determine or set.
2.) same case for a North America browser connecting to a Chinese server.
