Exception "Illegal characters" when calling jobFailed()

[robertarles]

The test runs (though fails) then an exception is thrown when trying to set the results on he saucelabs job.

Is this related to the code in SauceREST.java? Is there a workaround?

It seems that there is a /r/n tacked on to the "header value: Basic" The log snippet below is literal, except for the starred out chars.

    protected String encodeAuthentication() {
        String auth = username + ":" + accessKey;
        auth = "Basic " + Base64.encodeBase64String(auth.getBytes());
        return auth;
    }
