Single sign-on problem
------- Additional Comments From rolweber@de.ibm.com 2004-11-08 12:56 -------
SUN's HttpURLConnection has access to the login credentials of the
Windows user because the JDK includes plattform specific code.
HttpClient does not, and therefore cannot implicitly retrieve the
credentials required for Windows Single Sign-On.

You best chance is to supply plattform (Windows) specific code in your
application. Note that the prompt you can set does not have to show a
user dialog. It can also access Windows APIs to get uid/pwd quietly.
hope that helps,
Roland
