Manually Setting up Authorization Header.
Good Evening Everybody,
I am trying to seup Authorization header in GET method like this.
Header authHeader=new Header();
authHeader.setName("Authorization");
<get deflated and base64 encoded String >
StringBuffer prefix=new StringBuffer(" Custom CustomToken=");
//Put based 64 encoded string here.
prefix.append(encodedString);//.append("\"");
authHeader.setValue(prefix.toString());
method.setRequestHeader(authHeader);
However when it goes to the server. I get following on server log:
request failed: error reading the headers
I tried to do tcpdump. It seems Authorization Header is received in two
parts ( makes sense as it's size is 2.5K) . But server sends error after
receiving first part.

I guess issue was me not doing the url encoding of header string.

I guess that decision is pretty much guided by the propriety protocol that
we are planning to use.
Reading the documentation for LimitRequestFieldsize at following site, it
claims SPNEGO authentication headers can be up to 12392 bytes. so 2.5 k is
not that unusual. :)

Why on earth are you trying to use an HTTP header to send 2.5K of data?
