I can reproduce the problem you see (and will open a JIRA ticket attaching oyur files) when using Apache HttpClient. Everything works as expected when not using Apache HttpClient but the "normal" java.net.URLConnection based code path. At least I dodn't get any exception, I haven't checked whether the credentials are included. Maybe you can use this as a workaround until we get the bug fixed and a patched release out. Stefan
