Frank, I just what to add one thing to what Roland has said: basically the authentication with the developer.java.sun.com succeeded. You got the session cookie back. HttpClient was simply unable to process the post-logon redirect, but this limitation is not difficult to work around (see the redirect guide). I am sure it should not be that difficult to form-based login with get my.yahoo.com working. Give it another try
