Redirect and Kerberos authentication in conflict
------------------------------------------------
Key: HTTPCLIENT-1129
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1129
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Wish
Components: HttpClient
Affects Versions: 4.1.2
Reporter: Harald Kirsch
We are using the HttpClient to connect to a Website that uses
Kerberos-Authentication.
Beware this trigger word: Kerberos! I think this is *not* the problem, but
please read on.
Here is the sequence of events:
Client: GET /
Server: Unauthorized.
Client: GET / and includes authentication.
Server: 302 to /something on the same host (this shows that in principle
authentication works)
Client: GET /something, does not include authentication
Server: Unauthorized
Client quits with 401-Unauthorized.
I would have expected one of the following instead:
1) Client immediately sends authorization information with the redirected GET
/something
2) Client re-requests the /something with authorization after 401-Unauthorized.
We could get around the problem by setting the ConnectionReuseStrategy to a
constant false.
It would be great if someone could tell me if HttpClient works as expected or
whether there is a bug or misconfiguration lurking.
Thanks,
Harald.
