--- Comment #1 from Grégory Oestreicher <greg at kamago.net> ---
Yup, there's a conversion done in
frameworks/kio/src/ioslaves/http/httpauthentication.cpp:386 so re-assigning to
KIO.

However it seems that deciding on the character encoding is left to the
browser, though the HTTP RFC seems to say that it must be ISO-8859-1 unless
encoded as MIME according to RFC2047 but support for this is non-existent and
it's left mostly to the implementer appreciation.
