I just captured the http request and response and found some thing interesting. When camel-http send the request to back end server which is protected with HTTP Basic Authentication, HttpClient sends a request without Authentication inform first, then it sends the request with the Authentication header when it get the 401 response.
If you just want to camel-http send the request with the Authentication header, you can set url like this. from("direct:endpoint").to("http://localhost:8081?authMethod=Basic&authUsername=user1&authPassword=pwd&httpClient.authenticationPreemptive=true"); -- Willem Jiang Red Hat, Inc.
