While doing some checks with AuthManager (using HC4 and HC3.1) I noticed to my surprise that it supported DIGEST auth while I thought it didn't. At least it does with a Tomcat Digest auth.
1) Do you confirm it really does ? 2) Also something not clear for me, reading : http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/tutorial/html/authentication.html It is said preemptive auth is not supported out of the box, and we need to use AuthCache object but I see nowhere in JMeter code usage of this class. So how come it works ? 3) Finally, I notice setting : http.authentication.preemptive$Boolean=false leads to preemptive auth being disabled for HC3 (Ok) , but also not working for HC4 ? How come it impacts it ? Thanks for clarification.
