BUG/MINOR: http: Authorization value can have multiple spaces after the scheme

As per RFC7235, there can be multiple spaces in the value of an
Authorization header, between the scheme and the actual authentication
parameters.

This can be backported to all stable versions since basic auth has almost
always been there.
