Hi,
I am trying to open a pdf document using pdfreader. The problem is that the
url that the pdf is in requires authentication... I have tried setting the
url as: username:"passw...@url", but this works in a browser but when
running the code using that url I get the same: "java.io.IOException: Server
returned HTTP response code: 401" Error...
Searching around I have tried this:
URL url = new URL (file_name);
String userPassword = user + ":" + password;
String encoding = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode
(userPassword.getBytes());
URLConnection uc = url.openConnection();
uc.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + encoding);
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(uc.getURL());
But that just returns the same thing.
Any suggestions on how to do this would be appreciated.
Thank you.
