Re: Does JAX-RS clients, WebClient or JAXRSClientFactory, support basic HTTP auth?

[Sergey Beryozkin <sb...@progress.com>]

Hi,

I've done some initial work in this area.
Proxies and HTTP-centric clients can retrieve their underlying configuration like this :

BookStory proxy = ..
WebClient wc = ..

ClientConfiguration cfgProxy = WebClient.getConfig(proxy);
ClientConfiguration cfgWebClient = WebClient.getConfig(wc);

this underlines the fact that proxies and web clients sit on top of the shared implementation and also keeps WebClient interface 
very http-centric.

HTTPConduit hc1 = (HTTPConduit)cfgProxy.getConduit();
cfgProxy.getInInterceptors();

I might also introduce the possibility to return unmodifyable ClientConfigurations (if requested from JAXRSClientFactoryBean or from 
jaxrs:client)

Request and response contexts are also supported now but the client runtime does not do anything beyond setting them on the 
message/exchange. So at the moment only user interceptors might want to play with them. May be the core CXF interceptors might 
utilize them if some well-known properties are set.

cheers, Sergey
