Sebastien,
Nothing should stop you from getting the actual request URI by reading the
[HTTP_REQUEST](http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-core-4.4.x/httpcore/apidocs/org/apache/http/protocol/HttpCoreContext.html#HTTP_REQUEST)
attribute.
Adding the request URI to the AuthScope class looks conceptually wrong and
should not be done simply because Oracle does it.

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1748
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1748
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpClient
> Affects Versions: 4.5
> Environment: Windows, application running in a java applet started by
> firefox, connection to a remote server via a squid proxy with basic
> authentication
> Reporter: Sébastien Caille
> Priority: Trivial
>
> Hello,
> The java applets are deprecated, but the issue may impact other use cases.
> During a POST call made from a java applet via a proxy server with basic
> authentication, SystemDefaultCredentialsProvider.getSystemCreds(...) calls
> Authenticator.requestPasswordAuthentication, which wrongly returns "null"
> authentication.
> The java applet console shows that a NullPointerException was ignored.
> I managed to fix the issue by providing the following values to
> Authenticator.requestPasswordAuthentication (getSystemCreds is currently
> providing null for those ones ):
> prompt = authscope.getRealm()
> url = context.getAttribute(HttpClientContext.HTTP_TARGET_HOST)
> Both values are needed ( prompt == null && url != null -> dialog box asking
> for credentials, prompt != null && url == null -> crashes firefox)
> Note that when downloading the applet jar files, the java is providing values
> for all the parameters of Authenticator.requestPasswordAuthentication
> (according to a breakpoint in requestPasswordAuthentication).
> Thanks
