RFC-7617 updates the rules of Basic Authentication: now it gained support of optional charset parameter which defined the expected encoding of user credential. Previously, RFC-2616 only allowed to use ISO-8859-1 here, but de facto all major browsers and servers already provided support of UTF-8 in-place of ISO-8859-1. Now this behaviour get legalized and we can support it.
