Hi Dennis

Thanks, FYI, I've passed a link to this JIRA to the experts group - it is one of the pending 2.0 Client API issues.
Generally I have no problems at all with adding the extensions - but in this case I'd rather prefer to wait given that the workaround exists. 

Do something like Base64Utility.encode("username:password"); and then do webTarget.request().header("Authorization", "Basic " + base64EncodedValue);

> CXF should provide an easy way to configure the basic authentication for a JAXRS client programmatically, e.g.:
> {code:java}
>       Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient().register(new java.net.Authenticator() {
>          @Override
>          protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
>             return new PasswordAuthentication("myuser", "mypassword".toCharArray());
>          }
>       });
> {code}
