Access internal map of org.apache.http.client.CredentialsProvider
Consider this situation:
I have a proxy that requires a user+pwd
and my ultimate target is a server that also requires
authentication using some arbitrary CredentialsProvider.
My understanding is that In this case, I need to create
a CredentialsProvider that is the union of two other providers:
one for the proxy and one for the ultimate destination server.
Notice that I do not know the contents (i.e. scope X credentials set)
of the latter provider. Also I want to avoid modifying the target
provider object because that was given to me by the client code.
So, it seems to me that a method needs to be added to CredentialsProvider
to allow me to access its AuthScope -> Credentials map; this could be done
using an iterator or by exporting a map.
An alternate approach would be to actually add the Cloneable
interface to CredentialsProvider. However, the iterator is IMO a more
general
and usable approach.
Please consider this as a wish/new-feature for the CredentialsProvider
interface.

One can always decorate CredentialsProvider with a wrapper class and use
the original CredentialsProvider instance as a fallback. It would be a
better solution to the problem in my opinion.
