Commons HTTPClient, BASIC auth

Hi, everyone.

 

I am using Axis 1.4 as a client and use Jakarta Commons HTTPClient for
HTTPTransport. When I look at the traffic between the server (also Axis)
which uses BASIC authentication I see that there are a lot of 401
errors. The reason for this, is that Commons HTTPClient only sends BASIC
authentication when a Request is responded by a 401 error. 

 

Is there a way to force this so that it will always send the BASIC auth
header?

 

Thanks 

Ronald

   A small mistake in the attached file. Here is the fixed version.

   By the way, I will propose a patch for AXIS-2506 soon, currently
testing on my box.

   Hello Ronald,

   Preemptive authentication is an out-of-the-box feature of Commons
HttpClient via httpClient.getParams().setAuthenticationPreemptive(true).

   Unfortunately, it is not wired in axis' CommonsHTTPSender.

   Once more, unfortunately, I did not find an elegant way to subclass
CommonsHTTPSender to add this behavior. I attached a customized
version of CommonsHttpSender to add this line of code.

   I advise you to create a bug in Jira ; we would then be able to
propose a clean patch.

   Cyrille
