Re: HTTPClient query

[Dheeraj]

Hi Mike:

Thanks for your reply. I have posted the question to groups too.
I am trying to log the site https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/login which is authenticated 
by a proxy or NTLM. This would make it clear what I want.
I have tried both UsernamePasswordCredentials, and the NTCredentials.
I get a null at the line, and throws exception. However sometimes it returns 404 too, 
though the site is 
there.
// execute the GET
        int status = client.executeMethod( get );

My code does work for 
HTTP, HTTPS (with out authentication) , and authentication for Tomcat.

I hope I am sufficiently clear. Would you please solve the mystery,

Thank You

Dheeraj


Following are the details with respect to the problem.

package com.kcit.jakarta;

import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.UsernamePasswordCredentials;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.SimpleHttpConnectionManager;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HostConfiguration;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.NTCredentials;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.GetMethod;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.PostMethod;

public class BasicAuthenticatonExample {

    public BasicAuthenticatonExample() {
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
     client.setConnectionTimeout(100000000);

    client.getState().setCredentials(
                "SAP Service Marketplace",
                new UsernamePasswordCredentials(<my-usesr-id>, <password> )
        );



    GetMethod get = new GetMethod("https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/login";);


        get.setDoAuthentication(true);

        // execute the GET
        int status = client.executeMethod( get );

        // print the status and response
        System.out.println(status +  "\n" +get.getResponseBodyAsString());

        // release any connection resources used by the method
        get.releaseConnection();
    }
}

  Hello Dheeraj,

  If you could, please provide more information about what you are trying 
  and what is failing.  A test case that shows the problem is always 
  good.  Also, please post the question to the HttpClient mailing list at 
  [EMAIL PROTECTED] (you will have to subscribe 
  first).  This will ensure that others can benefit from any possible 
  solution.

  A http 404 response means that the file was not found.  Are you sure 
  that you are posting to a URL that exists?

  Mike
