http authentication bug

[Jason Horne <Ja...@sas.com>]

I tried to send an authenticated HTTP request with the following code:

<j:new var="credentials"
	className="org.apache.commons.httpclient.UsernamePasswordCredentials"/>
<j:parse text="${credentials.setUserName('jahorn')}"/>
<j:parse text="${credentials.setPassword('password')}"/>
<j:new var="httpclient" className="org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient"/>
<j:parse text="${httpclient.getState().setCredentials('realm', 'sww.sas.com', credentials)}"/>
<j:parse text="${httpclient.getState().setAuthenticationPreemptive(true)}"/>

<http:session httpClient="${httpclient}">
	<http:get var="foo" uri="http://sww.sas.com/"/>
</http:session>

<echo message="${foo.getResponseBodyAsString()}"/>

It didn't work, because it said it didn't have credentials for that realm, which it obviously did.    I think I found a bug in the implementation of SessionTag in the jelly http tag library which was causing this behavior.  Once I applied a fix to my local copy of the jelly http tag source, the above worked fine.

The bug is being tracked here:
