Mike Noordermeer commented on HTTPCLIENT-1451:
----------------------------------------------
Hmm, that does not seem to solve the whole issue, since the original request is
still retried (with the old Cookie header). The request does not seem to be
reachable from the AuthenticationStrategy, unfortunately... Still looking into
a workaround for this.
> HttpClient does not store response cookies on a 401

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1451
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1451
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HttpAuth
> Affects Versions: 4.3.2
> Reporter: Richard Sand
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 5.0
>
>
> Using HttpClient 4.3.2 to call a Web Service which is secured with BASIC
> authentication. The server responds to the initial request with a 401
> response but also includes a cookie.
> The HttpClient does not place response cookies into the cookie store until
> after it has completed the subsequent request with the Authorize header, but
> the server rejects the authentication if the cookie is missing.
> To work around this I had to disable the authentication capability in the
> HttpClientContext and manually check for the 401 response code, and then send
> a followup request with a manually set Authorize header.
> So in the use case where the HttpClient is automatically sending a followup
> request with credentials in response to a 401, the client should place the
> cookies from the original response into the cookie store immediately, rather
> than waiting for after the response to the credentials (the 2nd response).
