So what you are saying is that I can use HttpClient APIs and execute the method and then wrap that method in HttpURLConnection so that I am using java.net APIs to get the response? In other words I can not use it like java.net API for making requests. Is that correct? If NOT, how can I use this class to do Authentication? It does not have any methods which take Credentials as argument. Neither does it take HttpState as one of the arguments in the constructor. If you have a sample code that will be great.

It really only provides access for querying an HttpClient response with the java.net API. Mike On Monday, June 9, 2003, at 06:00 PM, Zulfi Umrani wrote: > Thanks for the info.
