RE: [HttpClient 3.0alpha2] Trouble with Basic authentication overSSL through a proxy.

I've also tried to use HttpsURLConnection and I'm getting the following:

java.net.ProtocolException: Server redirected too many  times (20)
	at
sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(Unknown
Source)
	at
com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol.https.HttpsURLConnectionOldImpl.ge
tInputStream(Unknown Source)
	at URLReader.readFile(URLReader.java:61)
	at URLReader.main(URLReader.java:461)
tmp *server redirected too many  times (20)*

Just thought that might be of interest to you.

I'll try using HttpState, however; due to the above problem I don't
believe it will make any difference.

Thanks,
Rindress

BTW I've attached the code with the HttpsURLConnection implementation.
Removing the sensitive info of course ;-)

Rindress,

This is clearly a bug in HttpClient 3.0. I'll see if I can reproduce the
problem locally and get it fixed. Meanwhile, could you please test the
same code in a non-interactive mode (that is, using HttpState)?
