Re: HTTPClient query

[Michael Becke]

Hi Dheeraj,

Are you hitting "https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/"; through a proxy?  If so, 
you you will need to setup the HttpClient instance for the proxy.  You 
will also need to supply NTLM credentials if it is an NTLM proxy.  Are 
you able to connect to other pages on this site besides the login page?

Hi Mike:

Thanks for your reply. I have posted the question to groups too.
I am trying to log the site https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/login which is authenticated by a proxy or NTLM. This would make it clear what I want.
I have tried both UsernamePasswordCredentials, and the NTCredentials.
I get a null at the line, and throws exception. However sometimes it returns 404 too, though the site is 
there.
// execute the GET
        int status = client.executeMethod( get );

My code does work for 
HTTP, HTTPS (with out authentication) , and authentication for Tomcat.

I hope I am sufficiently clear. Would you please solve the mystery,

Thank You

Dheeraj

Following are the details with respect to the problem.

package com.kcit.jakarta;

import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.UsernamePasswordCredentials;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.SimpleHttpConnectionManager;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HostConfiguration;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.NTCredentials;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.GetMethod;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.PostMethod;
public class BasicAuthenticatonExample {

    public BasicAuthenticatonExample() {
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
     client.setConnectionTimeout(100000000);
    client.getState().setCredentials(
                "SAP Service Marketplace",
                new UsernamePasswordCredentials(<my-usesr-id>, <password> )
        );


    GetMethod get = new GetMethod("https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/login";);

        get.setDoAuthentication(true);

        // execute the GET
        int status = client.executeMethod( get );
        // print the status and response
        System.out.println(status +  "\n" +get.getResponseBodyAsString());
        // release any connection resources used by the method
        get.releaseConnection();
    }
}

  Hello Dheeraj,

  If you could, please provide more information about what you are trying 
  and what is failing.  A test case that shows the problem is always 
  good.  Also, please post the question to the HttpClient mailing list at 
  [EMAIL PROTECTED] (you will have to subscribe 
  first).  This will ensure that others can benefit from any possible 
  solution.

  A http 404 response means that the file was not found.  Are you sure 
  that you are posting to a URL that exists?

  Mike
