Description

Basic Authentication is not working correctly. Explanation:

The Base64 encoder inserts carriage-returns (\n) every 76 characters. But, the HTTP header of Basic Authentication does not allow carriage-returns or line-feeds inside the encoded data.

Here's a patch to fix this bug, by taking out all carriage returns inserted by the Base64 encoder.

Cheers.
