com.sun.xml.internal.ws.transport.http.client.HttpTransportPipe, BasicAuth, Wrong Encoding, webservice-client

[LanceAndersen]

FULL PRODUCT VERSION :

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
if the Plattform Encoding is not "ISO-8859-1", the class

com.sun.xml.internal.ws.transport.http.client.HttpTransportPipe

do the wrong encoding to the Basic Auth header.

Normally the webservice client uses this code to send the credentials.

Map<String, Object> ctx = ((BindingProvider) port).getRequestContext();
ctx.put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, "user");
ctx.put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, "üöä");

The Basic-Auth header must be encoded with "ISO-8859-1" but the impletation in class "com.sun.xml.internal.ws.transport.http.client.HttpTransportPipe" does not doing this.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
step into class

com.sun.xml.internal.ws.transport.http.client.HttpTransportPipe

take a look where "BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY" is used.

the getBytes()-Method is called without StandardCharset.ISO_8859_1

This issue was previously reported at: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8154861
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
// creating the header externally

Map<String, Object> ctx = ((BindingProvider) port).getRequestContext();

Map<String, List> headers=new HashMap<String, List>();

headers.put("Authorization", Arrays.asList("Basic "+DatatypeConverter.printBase64Binary("user:üäö".getBytes(StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_1))));

ctx.put(MessageContext.HTTP_REQUEST_HEADERS, headers);
