> Key: HTTPCLIENT-2203
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2203
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 5.1.1, 5.1.2, 5.1.3
> Reporter: S Howlett
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 5.1.4, 5.2-alpha2
>
>
> After version 5.0.3, preemptive auth appears to be broken, with the
> {{Authorization}} header missing from requests sent. I wonder if this may be
> related to the fix for HTTPCLIENT-2147.
> I was able to reproduce this problem using the [Preemptive Authentication
> example|https://github.com/apache/httpcomponents-client/blob/5.1.x/httpclient5/src/test/java/org/apache/hc/client5/http/examples/ClientPreemptiveBasicAuthentication.java]
> provided in the
> [httpcomponents-client|https://github.com/apache/httpcomponents-client]
> GitHub repo. Below I outline the differences between the behaviour of
> HttpClient 5.0.3 and 5.1.1+ (using the Preemptive Authentication example, and
> Java 15.0.1). Nothing besides the HttpClient version was altered between the
> two cases.
> h2. *HttpClient 5.0.3*
> Preemptive Authentication example works as expected.
