Hello,
use HttpMethod.setDoAuthentication(false). Then,
your application will get the 40x response directly
and can check the returned headers for the auth
scheme and parameters.
If it's basic auth, you should enable preemptive
authentication after providing the credentials, to
avoid unnecessary round trips.
If you are using the development version of HttpClient,
it's even simpler. Implement the interface
...auth.CredentialsProvider and all the information you
require will be passed in as method arguments to
getCredentials()
cheers,
Roland

Subject: Repost: Authentication question
In 2.0 release is there a way to find (query) the server to get the
authentication scheme in order to know what Credentials to use? I an new
