I use .htaccess, basic authentication and a corresponding password file to secure my web-space. The hosting is Linux / Apache.

I want to support a user name with French accents (ie. not ASCII).

  • Are non-ASCII user names supported?
  • What encoding should the password file be in (UTF8, Latin-1, ...)?

It seems basic authentication does not support any non-ASCII characters as detailed in this SO question
