I haven't looked at it in a while, but I believe my assumption was that the DigestAuthentication class would perform this initial request internally. Is there any reason you couldn't do it that way? >- i added a method > public abstract String getMethod(); > and put the implementation in any subclass ... this is required for >the DigestAuthentication (by RFC), and could help also in other cases Why not have it return a Query.Method? >- i added a public int getStatus() method and moved the related >variable out of the method, could help ... and maybe also a >getMessage() with the returned message could be useful, at least to >have more info when needed Makes sense. >Ah, one last thing, some little parts of the code are derived from one >class in Tomcat and one class in HttpClient, i have put these >references in the initial comment of the source, is this enough ? I think we'll also need to add this to the NOTICE file. Thanks for the heads-up. >For tests, now it's working with Apache 2.x and mod_digest , if >someone is interested (at least to try) i could send some info to >setup the stuff. Next tests are on Tomcat. But all this Server-side >stuff is not included in sources, is it ok ? I think it would be good to include it, if we can.
