1.8.0 doesn't work on servers but does on local machine

[i5-650]

Hello !

I'm using deepl 1.8.0 after i used the 1.7.0 and I face a strange issue:

On my local machine (MacOS), it works fine. The token is a free tier token, therefore it ends with with :fx. However, on the server, the Deepl library throws an error saying:

Illegal character(s) in message header value: DeepL-Auth-Key XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX:fx.

If I switch back ti 1.7.0, it works.

Hm, I can run the e2e tests with a free key. Can you give some more information about your server please (eg operating system)? Did you update anything else along with the java library? Can you provide the full stacktrace? Can you try making a curl request to our API (eg the usage endpoint) with that auth key?

e.g.

$ curl -X GET 'https://api.deepl.com/v2/usage' \
-H 'Authorization: DeepL-Auth-Key XXXXX:fx' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'

Hello again,

I figured out the issue: I'm on a k8s an my deepl key is a secret. And, because it needs to be written in base64 for k8s cluster, I did this: echo 'my-key' | base64. I didn't notice that echo added a \n.

Others API that I use do a strip before using the credentials, therefore I didn't suspect it at first. I should have been more careful, but it would be great to add a strip in the deepl library.

Ahh, I see. I can create a ticket in the backlog, this does seem useful.
