Comment (by marty):

 (from [http://jabberd2.xiaoka.com/ticket/200
 http://jabberd2.xiaoka.com/ticket/200], this appears to be a Pidgin
 nonconformance to RFC2831)

 {{{
 "Following http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2831.txt

     charset This directive, if present, specifies that the server supports
 UTF-8 encoding for the username and password. If not present, the username
 and password must be encoded in ISO 8859-1 (of which US-ASCII is a
 subset). The directive is needed for backwards compatibility with HTTP
 Digest, which only supports ISO 8859-1. This directive may appear at most
 once; if multiple instances are present, the client should abort the
 authentication exchange.

 The server challenge you presented has charset=utf-8 present, so server
 expects you to reply using utf-8 charset."
 }}}
