Hi, In axis2 the http Authorization header is passed in the header info map along with the other header info. Two things are missing from an usability perspective 1) the username and password are base64 encoded and axis2 doesn't have the base64 util package included so one has to import the required jar from axis1 2) it would be better if the HTTP Authorization header (user/pass)could be decoded right when the headers are taken from the request and put in the messageContext, currently org.apache.axis.handlers.http.HTTPAuthHandler is available in axis1 to do this, can we have something similar.
Thanks Soumadeep
