[jira] [Updated] (HTTPCLIENT-1451) HttpClient does not store
response cookies on a 401
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1451?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Oleg Kalnichevski updated HTTPCLIENT-1451:
------------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: Future)
4.4 Final
I understand that it would be convenient for you to have all that mess pushed down to the framework but realistically that will not make the mess disappear. Me or some other poor sod will end up having to maintain it.
This problem is a direct consequence of peoples' abuse of the HTTP state management specification for completely unrelated stuff. The best I can do is to make it easier to implement custom auth strategies that involve cookies in 4.4.

> Using HttpClient 4.3.2 to call a Web Service which is secured with BASIC authentication. The server responds to the initial request with a 401 response but also includes a cookie.
> The HttpClient does not place response cookies into the cookie store until after it has completed the subsequent request with the Authorize header, but the server rejects the authentication if the cookie is missing.
> To work around this I had to disable the authentication capability in the HttpClientContext and manually check for the 401 response code, and then send a followup request with a manually set Authorize header.
> So in the use case where the HttpClient is automatically sending a followup request with credentials in response to a 401, the client should place the cookies from the original response into the cookie store immediately, rather than waiting for after the response to the credentials (the 2nd response).
