I have noticed a problem with setting logging to Fine. The Authenticator.java throws a null pointer exception in the authenticated/unauthenticated methods (line 234). I am guessing it is the following statement that is problematic request.getChallengeResponse().getIdentifier(). It will crash if the request does not have a challenge response (I think)
