             Summary: HTTP Conduit throws NPE exception for "invalid" 401 HTTP 
response
                 Key: CXF-6408
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-6408
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: JAX-RS, Transports
    Affects Versions: 3.1.0, 3.0.2
         Environment: Windows 7, JDK1.7.0_65, cxf-rt-transports-http: 3.0.x

            Reporter: Dmitriy Fedoriv
            Priority: Minor


Hi guys,

In process of using RESTful client based on Apache CXF JAX-RS with activated 
auto-redirect option, I observed NPE on my logs. The short investigation shows 
that the problem was caused by Web Service side, that send "401 Unauthorized" 
HTTP response without "WWW-Authenticate".

In this case, on HTTPConduit class when we try to handle retransmits (by 
auto-redirect option), we expect that response message MUST contains 
authentication params, but header map doesn't contain it. As a result we 
observe the following exception:

I understand  that described case is invalid by server, but I think it will be 
cool if we log some more informative. For example: "Authentication parameters 
is not specified".

Thank you!
