hello Alex,
using the sample code available here
http://wiki.restlet.org/docs_2.0/188-restlet.html, I've found that 2
requests are received by the server (when clicking on the button
labelled "Refresh (Basic authentication)".
The first one is not authenticated, the other one is and contains the
Authorization header... However at the same time, the code that sends
the request (from client side:
org.restlet.gwt.engine.http.GwtHttpClientCall sendRequest) is only
called once...
Is this the current behaviour of the GWT client in hosted mode? We need
a bit more investigations.
best regards,
Thierry Boileau
