I do see an Authorization header: DEBUG - org.restlet.http.headers:[Accept: */*, Authorization: Basic aGFyYm9yOmhhcmJvcg==, Host: localhost:28080, User-Agent: Noelios-Restlet-Engine/1.1..1]

I tried using the Restlet Client code provided by the example in the tutorial (http://www.restlet.org/documentation/1.1/tutorial#part09) and went back to using my Guard extension. In short, the ChallengeResponse() appears to always be null when coming through the Mule Restlet Transport (unless of course I'm missing something). @Override public int authenticate(Request request) { ChallengeResponse cr = request.getChallengeResponse(); if (cr == null) { logger.debug("ChallengeResponse is NULL"); } ... } Iterating through getSecrets() above gives me the Secrets I set up in my Application class. Also, getScheme() returns HTTP_BASIC. Could I possibly be missing a step that invokes the ChallengeResponse from the client? My relevant client code: Client client = new Client(Protocol.HTTP) Request request = new Request(Method.GET, uri) ChallengeScheme scheme = ChallengeScheme.HTTP_BASIC ChallengeResponse authentication = new ChallengeResponse(scheme, username, password) request.setChallengeResponse(authentication) Response response = client.handle(request) Sorry to keep pinging here, but I'm running out of ideas :) ________________________________ From: John Prystash <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, January 26, 2009 10:47:01 AM Subject: Re: [restlet-user] Retrieving Credentials sent by HttpClient To follow-up, I tried following the example found in the tutorial and let the standard Guard class handle the authentication (http://www.restlet.org/documentation/1.1/tutorial#part09). In my Application extension: Guard guard = new Guard(getContext(), ChallengeScheme.HTTP_BASIC, REALM); guard.getSecrets().put("john", "john".toCharArray()); guard.setNext(MyResource.class); In my client, I set the credentials as before: def credentials = new UsernamePasswordCredentials("john", "john") And I get a 401. So with this simpler approach where Guard.authenticate() is being invoked, the credentials from HttpClient do not seem to get noticed: Credentials: Username: harbor Password: harbor Response received.

I'm using Mule 2.0.2 with 1.1.3 of the Mule Restlet Transport (uses Restlet 1.1.1). In my Guard class, request.getChallengeResponse() is return null. My Guard extension: public class MyGuard extends Guard { @Override public int authenticate(Request request) { ... ChallengeResponse cr = request.getChallengeResponse(); // is null here ... } } My Application class: public class MyApplication extends Application { @Override public Restlet createRoot() { Guard guard = new MyGuard(getContext(), ChallengeScheme.HTTP_BASIC, "someRealm"); guard.setNext(MyResource.class); ... } } I'm using HttpClient 3.1 (with Groovy) as my users will be: def client = new HttpClient() def httpMethod = new GetMethod(uri) def authScope = new AuthScope(null, -1, "someRealm") def credentials = new UsernamePasswordCredentials(username, password) client.getState().setCredentials(authScope, credentials); // these lines print out what I expect println "Username: " + client.getState().getCredentials(authScope).getUserName() println "Password: " + client.getState().getCredentials(authScope).getPassword() httpMethod.setDoAuthentication(true) statusCode = client.executeMethod(httpMethod); I found a similar posting here: http://markmail.org/message/6n7hjc3pmbg7vcg5#query:restlet%20httpclient%20credentials+page:1+mid:5y3ldjbvcvwxaysp+state:results Thanks for advance for any insight. ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=1056266
