Add SPNEGO support to Thrift HTTP transport
-------------------------------------------
Key: THRIFT-889
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-889
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Java - Library
Reporter: Carl Steinbach
[SPNEGO|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPNEGO] is the standard mechanism for
Kerberos authentication over HTTP.
Thrift should give users the option of using a Thrift HTTP client or server
that is capable of authentication using SPNEGO/Kerberos. This will be useful
for Hadoop which has chosen Kerberos as its standard authentication protocol,
as well as people who need to use Kerberos authentication with Thrift based
services running in servlet containers like Tomcat.
