Tried to use the Preemptive Authentication feature. Could not get it to work. I used the HttpState.setAuthenticationPreemptive(true); to set the preemptive authentication ON. It still send the first request without the Authorization header. Code sample is below. Would like to know, how to set up the Pre-emptive Authentication.
package test; import java.io.*; import java.net.URL; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.*; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.*; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.*; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.util.*; public class JCTest { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { test0(); test0(); return; } public static void test0() throws Exception { System.out.println("running test0"); String urlstr = "http://localhost:9999/services1/test"; URL url = new URL(urlstr); HttpClient hc = new HttpClient(); HttpState state = hc.getState(); state.setAuthenticationPreemptive(true); state.setCredentials("", url.getHost(), new UsernamePasswordCredentials("zulfi", "zulfi")); PostMethod post = new PostMethod(urlstr); post.setDoAuthentication(true); post.addRequestHeader("Connection", "Keep-Alive"); post.addRequestHeader("Content-Length", ""+msg.length()); post.addRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8"); InputStream reqis = new ByteArrayInputStream(msg.getBytes()); post.setRequestBody(reqis); HostConfiguration hconfig = new HostConfiguration(); hconfig.setHost(new URI(urlstr)); hc.executeMethod(hconfig, post); System.out.println(post.getResponseBodyAsString()); System.out.println(); } private static String msg = "Text Message"; } Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
