Julian Reschke commented on CONNECTORS-1564:
--------------------------------------------
bq. That's too late because filters kick in first.
The interesting case (for me) is when filters do not kick in, in which case the
servlet should have a choice of sending "continue" or sending a final status.
I agree that this is not the right place to discuss that; I just wanted to
point out that although HTTP defines the protocol for this, API support (IMHO)
is not very good, and thus the original question about preemptive
authentication makes a lot of sense to me.
> Support preemptive authentication to Solr connector

> We should post preemptively in case the Solr server requires basic
> authentication. This will make the communication between ManifoldCF and Solr
> much more effective instead of the following:
> * Send a HTTP POST request to Solr
> * Solr sends a 401 response
> * Send the same request, but with a "{{Authorization: Basic}}" header
> With preemptive authentication, we can send the header in the first request.
