The current code does not even support basic authentication, but Gabriel,
cc'ed, is adding a patch
for that, see here:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-3860
The patch is about to be committed (on trunk at least, not sure if on 2.7.x
as well) and
introduces a interface to isolate from the actual HTTP library used in the
background,
with two implementations, commons http client and plain jdk, not sure if
it's pluggable,
but if it is you may be able to build and inject your version too
Hopefully Gabriel will see this one, otherwise you may also comment on the
above
ticket
Cheers
Andrea
