Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-1171:
-----------------------------------------------
Tomas,
I added a test case to the 4.1.x branch to test the condition you have
described (AuthScheme#authenticate() method throws AuthenticationException) and
was unable to reproduce the defect [1].
There is not much I do unless I manage to reproduce the problem with a
self-contained test case that does not depend on Windows specific
functionality. I'll have no other option but to close the issue as CANT
REPRODUCE.

> Infinite loop if authenticate() method throws AuthenticationException
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1171
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1171
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 4.1.3, 4.2 Alpha1
> Reporter: Tomas Ruzicka
>
> - With 4.1.1: an infinite loop is entered if the exception is thrown.
> Httpclient then keeps sending the request w/o Authentication header in the
> loop.
> - With 4.2 Alpha1: the same as above *if there is no other scheme available*.
> So for example, if the server responds:
> WWW-Authenticate: BASIC realm="realmoftheserver"
> WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="realmoftheserver", stale=false,
> nonce="cc684f71295dce8113c30617d7b34ddc", qop="auth", algorithm="MD5"
> and the Digest scheme throws AuthenticationException then Basic scheme is
> used but if the server responds just:
> WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="realmoftheserver", stale=false,
> nonce="cc684f71295dce8113c30617d7b34ddc", qop="auth", algorithm="MD5"
> and the Digest scheme throws AuthenticationException then the client enter
> the loop
