Hi Tom
So I'm trying to implement an AuthScheme for OAuth (actually I'm trying to
augment SignPost to work with HttpClient's AuthScheme, but anyway...)
The problem I'm running up against is when AuthScheme.authenticate(
Credentials, HttpRequest ) is called. The problem is, in order for the
request to be signed in OAuth, I need to know the entire request URI. The
HttpRequest that's passed into authenticate() only has the path portion of
the URI.
Code snippet from OAuthScheme.java:
public Header authenticate( Credentials credentials, HttpRequest request
) throws AuthenticationException {
System.out.println( "AuthScheme request: " + request.getURI() );
// ... sign the request
}
So, calling getURI on my original request shows:
http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
(get 401 response, authScheme handler kicks in...)
from the authenicate method, I get printed:
AuthScheme request: /statuses/update.xml
I'm guessing this is because the request I'm getting is the 'new' request
created after the initial 401 response is returned. I know the HttpContext
holds state information between multiple requests (like redirects and 401s)
but I don't have access to that from my AuthScheme instance. So how can my
AuthScheme get the URI from the original request?
I think you are seeing the right request.. but you only see the request
URI as your request went out that way. For example:
GET http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml HTTP/1.1
you issued, got translated as:
GET /statuses/update.xml HTTP/1.1
Host: twitter.com
You should still be able to get the scheme, method etc from the request,
as well as the 'Host' header. Can you check if this is correct?
cheers
