[jira] Created: (HTTPCLIENT-831) document how to use httpClient to
proxy a http basic auth
document how to use httpClient to proxy a http basic auth
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: HTTPCLIENT-831
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-831
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HttpClient
Affects Versions: 3.1 Final
Environment: debian stable, jdk1.5
Reporter: Ralf Hauser
http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/authentication.html describes many aspects of authentication.
We use httpClient to write a proxy and it simply writes back to the javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse whatever the httpClient GetMethod sees.
Works fine for a static web-site.
However, when the proxy (httpClient GetMethod) hits a page of the remote server that requires http basic auth, the response GetMethod copied to the javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse will not trigger a http basic auth request in my firefox that the proxy could pass through.

Ralf,
Let's face it, if you do not contribute such documentation, no one else will.
