Hi Mole, Currently the auth header is sent only if the server requests for it. So if your server sends a WWW-Authenticate:.... header when authentication failed at the first request, Axis2 will send another with the required header.
However, I think we should have allowed the user to send the auth header without waiting for a failed response in the first place, because it is only an additional overhead, if the user already *knows* that the server requires basic auth, Somehow we missed it from 1.1 release :( Regards, Dumindu.
