Doesn't work using non-ASCII chars for username and/or password for BASIC authentication.
We noticed it when we looked on JIra issue https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBEAP-3603.
We JBoss EAP 7 expects encoded UTF-8 strings in code. But we didn't find any information about it in specification.
It works with Chrome and Opera, but it doesn't work with Firefox.

Since there is no documentation for this username/password limitation it can affect customers who want to use non-ASCII credentials.
