Help -- Proxy continue

[Mike Ma <ja...@hotmail.com>]

I received two messages, confirm request and welcome message, from  
commons-httpclient-dev-help@jakarta.apache.org. But the 
commons-httpclient-dev@jakarta.apache.org seems to write-only to me: I can 
post message to it, but never receive any message from it.

I posted a help message "Help -- Proxy" yesterday about configurating a 
proxy. I saw it through the mailing list archive. Thank Michael Becke and 
Ortwin Qlueck for quick help. Now It works if I construct NTCredentials: new 
NTCredentials(username, password, "", ""). It will throw 
NULLPointerException if I do this: new NTCredentials(username, 
password,null, null);

Even though it works now, I still do not know any meanings of domain and 
host in the NTCredentials's Constructor.

Thanks again
Mike

Hi Mike,

The documentation for this has just recently been updated in CVS.

Essentially, domain is the NT domain you are authenticating with.  If you
have your user name in the form DOMAIN\user then "DOMAIN" is your domain and
you should specify the user as just "user".

The host parameter is the host from which the authentication request is
coming from - in other words, the current machine name.

If you haven't already, check out the authentication guide at
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/authentication.html

Hope that helps,

Adrian Sutton.
