preemptive authentication ...
on the same note of preemptive authentication.. I know
this question sounds dumb (when I read back the
contents)
but is there a way to send the authentication
digest/credentials with the first request so that the
request does not get challenged?
after reading preemptive authentication for
httpclient in the authentication doc.. it seems this
preemptiveness is only possible with basic
authentication.. is this true?
Sid

Hi Sid,
HttpClient only supports using Basic authentication preemptively. This
is because both NTLM, and Digest require values sent by the server as
part of the Authorization request to create the authorization response.
