[jira] [Resolved] (HTTPCLIENT-1241) Preemptive authentication is
not preemptive anymore
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1241?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Oleg Kalnichevski resolved HTTPCLIENT-1241.
-------------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 4.2.2
Rafał
I do not think it is broken. HttpClient 4.2 correctly constructs the initial request. What is different in the series 4.2 is that HttpClient attempts to re-authenticate to in case the cause of the failure is not user credentials. For instance, in case of the DIGEST scheme authentication can fail due to expired nonce. Having said that, in case of BASIC there probably can be no other reasons other than invalid credentials and this makes it any additional recovery measures pointless.
Fixed in both SVN trunk and 4.2.x. Please re-test your code against the latest snapshot off the 4.2.x branch and let me know if the problem still persists.

> After switching from 4.1.3 to 4.2.1 the preemptive authentication doesn't work as expected (and described in the tutorial - http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/tutorial/html/authentication.html#d5e1032 ).
> When credentials are provided for the auth cache after the very first 401 response the request should be handled as failed. Instead it's executed once again.
