(This is a crosspost from Russian https://bugzilla.mozilla-russia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201)

Fails to login to proxy with non-ascii characters in login or password (for example, Russian, we didn't check it with any other character set). There is a problem in nsHttpBasicAuth::GenerateCredentials function which converts unicode characters into ascii ones incorrectly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any proxy with non-ascii characters in login/password

Actual Results:  
The authentification window appears again being blank as if you did not input anything there.

Expected Results:  
Pass the authentification and go on to the Internet.

OS: Russian Windows XP with SP2
Provider uses UserGate v2.8; the bug has been confirmed for versions 4.0, 4.1.
Also tested on FireFox 2.0 Beta 2 with the same results.
