J2EE FORM authentication (also affects pluggable authentication)





--- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2004-01-14 16:14 ---
I personally do not see an elegant way of implementing the requested feature,
and what is more, do not think that J2EE authentication should be supported by
the stock version of HttpClient at all. 

Authentication logic in HttpClient has undergone several radical changes since
this feature request was filed. The monolithic HttpAuthenticator has been
restructured into smaller, AuthScheme interface implementing modules and
deprecated. Besides, form-based authentication is not a part of HTTP protocol
and should probably better be built on top of HttpClient, instead of being kind
of shoved in.

All that makes me kind of lean towards marking this bug as 'WONTFIX'. What do
you think, guys? Am I being too lazy and unimaginative?

Agreed.  This is not something that needs to be fixed.  Form authentication  is just 
like posting 
into any other form.  It is not another kind of HTTP authentication.  This type of 
authentication 
should be handed using PostMethod.

If there are any fresh and bright ideas or/and practical suggestions as to how
J2EE authentication can be implemented without causing too much of design
badness, feel free to reopen the bug report. Patches welcome
