When using basic http authentication, Authorization header should be sent with
initial request
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AXIS2C-716
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-716
Project: Axis2-C
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core/transport
Affects Versions: 1.1.0
Environment: This should be a platform independent change.
Reporter: Michael Mole
Fix For: Current (Nightly)
Currently when using basic http authentication, the Authorization header is not
sent with the initial request. Instead, Axis2/C waits for the server to first
send a failed authentication response with a WWW-Authenticate header. Then
Axis2/C will resend the request with the required Authorization header. If the
user specifies the Authorization information up front, then the Authorization
header should be sent with the initial request.
It adds unnecessary overhead to require 2 requests to be sent every time. Also
in my case, my server is not sending the WWW-Authenticate, so I am unable to
authenticate at this point. (Although this piece is probably a bug with my
server.)
