I didn't post the example, but I have to agree. It is indeed a lot
better, than having to include (or write your own) Base64
implementation just to re-invent a feature that is already
available and probably well tested. Magnificent indeed :)

I am sure that Ralph will be absolutely ecstatic about that - can you
imagine that - a working example that require less code/library
inclusion compared to my app - absolutely magnificent!
Personally the first part ("working") would be my clear focus.
Have a nice day ;-)

There is really no need to re-implement functionality already found in
HttpClient.
(unless is broken, like the digest auth implementation)

This is, of course, for digest authentication. Basic authentication works, but you should only use it over HTTPS. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Re: [android-developers] AndroidHttpClient HttpGet with Basic Authorization
You need to add "Basic" in front of the "Authorization" parameter (if
you are using basic auth.). The base64 encoded string also needs both
username and password.
This is from a working example:
method.addHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + Base64.encodeBytes(new
String(this.username + ":" + this.password).getBytes()));
The Base64.encodeBytes helper method is found here: http://iharder.net/base64

[android-developers] AndroidHttpClient HttpGet with Basic Authorization
Hallo,
why I can't add a "Authorization" header field to my get request?
AndroidHttpClient client = AndroidHttpClient.newInstance(useragent);
HttpParams httpParams = new BasicHttpParams();
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParams, 15 * 1000);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParams, 15 * 1000);
HttpGet get = new HttpGet(url);
get.addHeader("Authorization", "Base64 encoded String");
get.addHeader("Accept", "application/json");
get.setParams(httpParams);
...
When I execute this request I get a "HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request" response.
When I remove the line "get.addHeader("Authorization", "Base64 encoded
String");" everything works fine (without the authorization).
What's going wrong? Is that the right way to do a basic authorization?
How to add the header field?
Ralph
