+<PRE>Hello, y'all.
+
+I'm using HTTP Basic Auth in my API. While calling
+cowboy_req:parse_header(&lt;&lt;&quot;authorization&gt;&gt;&quot;, ... with an _invalid_
+Authorization header such as &quot;Authorization: Basic Test1&quot; I get an error
+500 back and an error log message on the server.
+
+1. Is this the expected behavior? [if I understand correctly, my request is
+going through authorization(UserPass, Type = &lt;&lt;&quot;basic&quot;&gt;&gt;) and this has no
+check for the string being correctly encoded]
+
+2. what would be the best way to guard against this &quot;error&quot;?
+
+Thanks.
+
