Hi Bojan, I have taken the latest code from the SVN address above and the authentication issue is still there. I am not sure how you are able to over come it without changing the code in the AbstractBaseProvider. I have made the change you suggested - rather than just removing the exception throw. (I can send you a patch file if you would like?)
On another note - I am stil trying to get details for a specific community I am doing this by calling the URL - http://localhost:8080/rest/communities/29.xml as outlined below. Can you tell me if I am doing this correct - I am still getting HTTP Status 500. If I have time I will look more deeply into this - if you have no ideas on what is causing it?
