http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29439 Credentials ignored if realm specified in preemptive authentication ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-06-09 12:40 ------- Throwing an exception in the case that preemptive authentication is set but no default credentials are supplied would seriously break our application and I would imagine a number of others. If you use HttpClient to connect to user defined hosts and provide a mechanism whereby the user (or system administrator) can specify login details (in our case through a configuration file) you should: 1. Enable preemptive authentication so that it works whenever the credentials are available. 2. Register whatever set of predefined credentials you are given. The most common case for us is that preemptive authentication is enabled but no credentials are registered with HttpClient. A warning message is fine but an exception is definitely not a good thing. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
