Arturo Bernal commented on HTTPCLIENT-2414:
-------------------------------------------
As a workarround you could {*}disable auth caching{*}, so HttpClient won’t
reuse the previous Basic scheme preemptively across paths.
{code:java}
final CloseableHttpClient client = HttpClients.custom()
.disableAuthCaching()
.build();
{code}
> Wrong path prefix caching in BasicAuth
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: HTTPCLIENT-2414
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2414
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpClient (classic)
> Affects Versions: 5.7-alpha1
> Reporter: Roland Praml
> Priority: Major
>
> We noticed, that the HttpClient does not properly cache the authentications,
> when changing paths.
>
> The [https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7617#section-2.2] says, that
> you can reuse credentials, when you are authenticated to the path prefix
> before.
> This does not work in all cases.
> *How to reproduce*
> Take the {{testBasicAuthenticationCredentialsCachingByPathPrefix}} test and
> modify it:
> {code:java}
> ...
> for (final String requestPath : new String[]\{"/blah/a", "/blubb/b"}) {
> ...
> Assertions.assertEquals(Arrays.asList(401, 200, 401, 200) // fails with
> 401,200, 200
> {code}
> The expectation is, that you get a 401+200 for {{/blah/a}} and a 401+200 for
> {{/blubb/b}}.
> But for the second call, the credentials are sent, without checking the
> path-prefix and we get a 401,200 - 200 pattern.
> I've tracked down this a bit and see, that the {{AuthExchange.pathPrefix}} is
> cleared in the {{reset()}} method.
> Note: When accessing {{/blah/a}} two times in a row, everything works as
> expected. The second access to {{/blah/a}} fixes the cached value:
> {code:java}
> ...
> for (final String requestPath : new String[]\{"/blah/a", "/blah/a",
> "/blubb/b"}) {
> ...
> Assertions.assertEquals(Arrays.asList(401, 200, 200, 401, 200) // this will
> work
> {code}
>
