http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18355 HttpState cannot differentiate credentials for different hosts with same Realm names ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-31 08:25 ------- Oleg, Were you working on this or should I take a look at it? I already have some code for this that could be fairly easily updated to the current HttpClient. One question that remains for me is what the new search order should be. The two most obvious answers to me are: 1. Expect to always get a realm and a host or null for both and just provide backwards compatibility for setting just the realm. The search order would then be: a. realm & host b. realm c. null 2. Provide maximum flexibility. I'd imagine the search order to then be: a. realm & host b. host c. realm d. null Though the order of searching for host and realm is quite arbitrary, I've generally found that people know what host they are connecting to better than they know the realm. Also, there is the security consideration of sending the credentials to the wrong host. I don't have any particular preference for the order though. Sorry if I missed part of the discussion of this on-list. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
