http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29439 Credentials ignored if realm specified in preemptive authentication ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-06-08 13:22 ------- Philipe, As you have already noticed, this is not a bug. The behaviour is caused by the nature of Basic authentication: preemptive authentication can be done if and only if credentials for the null realm exist. > But, it should not be possible to set a realm when using preemptive mode, or at > least it should not be silently ignored. You can use the same HttpState object to connect to different sites. It makes sense to both have credentials with and without realm and preemptive authentication enabled. What we could do, is issue a warning if preemptive auth is enabled but no credentials for the null realm are available. This could actually be an enhancement to 2.0 branch, which you are reporting the bug against. Would this approach help you? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
