Ah yes, I was hit by the same bug, and just reverted to 1.8.1.

HTTP authentication in WEBrick is also broken in 1.8.2:
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-dev/25336
(In Japanese, but I'm sure you can read the diff)

The decode64 issue that affects HTTP authentication is fixed in 1.9;
the logging code is unchanged in the latest version that I have
downloaded.  I don't know whether more recent versions of 1.9 address
that as well.

Paul.
