setCredentials Fails in Applet

[Blaine <ht...@idmsinc.net>]

Howdy,

 

I have the example MultipartFileUploadApp working as an application.

 

When I try and do the same thing with an applet I can get everything to work
except setCredentials.  (For testing I have allowed all in the java.policy
file)

 

If I put my user:pw in the url it works.  That is until I use
EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory to accept self signed certs then the url trick
fails.

 

But either way even when connecting to a non SSL server the setCredentials
does not work from an applet.  The exact same piece of code works from an
application.

 

I've tried

           client.getState().setCredentials(null

                                                        ,null

                                                        ,new
UsernamePasswordCredentials("user", "password")

                                                        );

 

And I've also tried populating the first 2 arguments with the correct
values.

 

The error I get is

This is the same error I get in the application if I pass an invalid
user/pw.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I need to be able to use an applet
against a server that requires basic auth and has a self signed cert.

 

Thanks
