Http Session Question

[Mark Wood <mw...@kanayo.com>]

I have a question about using the Slide Webdav Client libs and accessing 
http session info.  Essentially what I would like to be able to do is 
connect to my server (Tomcat 4.0.6) from a client application.  The 
server contains a filter which intercepts any requests, checks that the 
user is logged in and has appropriate permissions and then continues 
with the request, passing it on to the standard Tomcat WebdavServlet. 
 On the server-side, once the user logs in, the user info is added to 
the session.  What I can't figure out is how to construct the request on 
the client side to perform the login (a servlet url with some parameters 
attached) and webDAV requests (get, lock, put, etc.) so that the user 
info gets properly added to the session by the filter, and how to access 
this user info in the session from the client.  Is this possible, and if 
so, what methods are used?  I've searched through the mail archives and 
seen some references to sessions and cookies, but so far have not had 
any luck getting it to work.  Any help appreciated.

Hi Mark,

hope I have understood your question. But you can add the user info to
the URL: http://user:pwd@host/foo
