Hi,
I'm trying to use preemptive authentication because I have a
non-repeatable (dyanimc) request entity. Currently when posting, this
goes wrong because I get a 401 Unauthorized but it has already sent some
of the data, and when it tries again with the basic authentication
credentials the post fails... (I've implemented the
writeTo(OutputStream) method on the Entity). I'm wondering by the way
how it can even do the request again because isRepeatable on the entity
returns false...
I construct my http client as follows:
final HttpParams httpParams = new BasicHttpParams();
HttpClientParams.setAuthenticationPreemptive(httpParams, true);
final DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParams);
I searched the source for references to the
ClientPNames.PREEMPTIVE_AUTHENTICATION constant, but I couldn't find
any, so I'm wondering, is preemptive authentication implemented in 4.0
alpha 3 yet?
Sebastiaan,
There is no support for preemptive authentication at the moment.
Anyways, you'll be _much_ better off using the 'expect-continue'
handshake or making sure your entity is repeatable.
Hope this helps
Oleg
Or am I doing something wrong?
Regards,
Sebastiaan
