RE: HttpClient login error

[Kalnichevski, Oleg]

Gregory,
Does the site in question require authentication? If yes, it is quite likely you have 
hit one of the known limitations of the HttpClient 2.0 branch. See HttpClient SSL 
guide for details <http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/sslguide.html>. This 
problem has already been fixed in the development (pre 3.0-alpha1) version.

However, to be really sure you may want to examine the wire log of the HTTP session 
and see what exactly goes wrong 
<http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/logging.html>. Feel free to post the 
wire log to this mailing list if you think we may be of help. You should obfuscate 
sensitive data (such as user credentials and host names) before posting the log, 
though.

Oleg

Subject: HttpClient login error


Hi all!


I try to login on the site

http://www.mercedes-benz.t-online.de

but it is never successful.
I try to connect from my java application over a proxy to the destinated
server.
The connection over the proxy works fine.

My java code looks like this:

static final String LOGON_SITE = "https://www.mercedes-benz.t-online.de";;
static final int LOGON_PORT = 443;
static final String authURL = "/mb-portal/www/Forward";

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
HostConfiguration hostConfiguration = new HostConfiguration();
try{
     client.setConnectionTimeout(60000);
     client.setTimeout(30000);
     hostConfiguration.setProxy("xx.yyy.zz.xxx", 80);
     client.setHostConfiguration(hostConfiguration);
     client.getHostConfiguration().setHost(LOGON_SITE,
     LOGON_PORT, "https");
     client.getState().setCookiePolicy(CookiePolicy.COMPATIBILITY);
     GetMethod authget = new GetMethod();
     authget.setRequestHeader(userAgentHeader);
     authget.setFollowRedirects(true);
     client.executeMethod(authget);
     String responseBody = authget.getResponseBodyAsString();
     authget.releaseConnection();
     Cookie[] initCookies = client.getState().getCookies(LOGON_SITE,
LOGON_PORT, "/", false);
     System.out.println(responseBody);
     if(initCookies.length==0){
          System.out.println("NONE in GET-Method: " + authget.getPath());
     }else{
         for (int z=0;z<initCookies.length;z++){
               System.out.println("- " + initCookies[z].toString());
          }
     }
     }catch(Exception ex){
        System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
     }

       
     PostMethod authpost = new PostMethod("/mb-portal/www/Forward");
     NameValuePair userid = new NameValuePair("userName", "myUserName");
     NameValuePair password = new NameValuePair("passwd", "myPassword");
     authpost.setRequestBody(new NameValuePair[]{userid, password});
     authpost.setHostConfiguration(hostConfiguration);
     client.executeMethod(authpost);
     System.out.println("Login form post: " +
authpost.getStatusLine().toString());
     authpost.releaseConnection();
     Cookie[] logonCookies = client.getState().getCookies(LOGON_SITE,
LOGON_PORT, "/", false);
     if(logonCookies.length==0){
          System.out.println("NONE IN POST-Method");
     }else{
          for (int z=0;z<logonCookies.length;z++){
                System.out.println("- " + logonCookies[z].toString());
          }
     }
     int statuscode = authpost.getStatusCode();
     if ((statuscode==HttpStatus.SC_MOVED_TEMPORARILY)||
        (statuscode==HttpStatus.SC_MOVED_PERMANENTLY)||
        (statuscode==HttpStatus.SC_SEE_OTHER)||
        (statuscode==HttpStatus.SC_TEMPORARY_REDIRECT)){
         Header header = authpost.getResponseHeader("location");
         if(header!=null){
        String newuri = header.getValue();
        if (newuri == null&&newuri.equals("")){
                      newuri = "/";
              System.out.println("Redirect target: " + newuri);
              GetMethod redirect = new GetMethod(newuri);
              client.executeMethod(redirect);
                }
        redirect.releaseConnection();
          }else{
        System.out.println("invalid redirect");
        System.exit(1);
          }
      }
}

What I am doing wrong?
I would appreciate every help!!!

Thanks,

Gregory
