> HttpClient fails Basic Authentication when using RFC2617Scheme
> --------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1604
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1604
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpClient
> Affects Versions: 4.3.6
> Reporter: Dave R
> Attachments: BasicAuthTests.java
>
>
> HttpClient fails to process Basic authentication with
> MalformedChallengeException - "HttpAuthenticator - Malformed challenge: Authentication challenge is empty"
> even though WWW auth header is valid ("WWW-Authenticate: Basic")
> AuthSchemeBase.processChallenge(final Header header)
> parses through the header, gets the value and checks that it matches the expected scheme name. (AuthSchemeBase: lines 100 through 125)
> It then calls parseChallenge(buffer, pos, buffer.length()) (line 127)
> In this scenario, pos is equal to buffer.length() because it was just used as the buffer index to find the beginning and end of the value (AuthSchemeBase: lines 114 to 121)
> parseChallenge() (overridden in RFC2617Scheme) uses pos as the begin index for a new cursor to be used to parse the header again. (RFC2617Scheme: line 108)
> Since pos is pointing to the end of the buffer, it doesn't find any elements and throws MalformedChallengeException("Authentication Challenge is empty")
