Re: [SQU] Limitations

When will I learn :-/

rfc 2617 specifies TEXT as the username & password, I just had a nagging suspicion so I looked up the BNF definition for TEXT, which
excludes LWS.. Sorry Henrik for wasting time...

So Devin, the patches Henrik has mailed you should work, but be aware that the HTTP protocols do not allow spaces in usernames or
passwords.

Henrik, perhaps these should be covered by the http violations #define in configure?
