Basic Authentication is always a UTF-8 String

Hello

SoapUI always creates a base-64 encode UTF-8 string in the basic authentication
string in the header.

I have Lotus Domino as Server, which expects an ISO-8859-1 string, so
password or usernames with non US-ASCII characters won't work.
The workaround is to use only US-ASCII-Characters.

The topic is discussed in the IETF and there is a draft for this topic:

http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-reschke-basicauth-enc-00.html

Please implement a field to define the charset of the basic authentication.

Cheers JJ
