The target server that I am POSTing to requires digest authentication. I was trying out:
httpClient.getState().setAuthenticationPreemptive(true);
However, it turns out that HttpClient was first trying out Basic authentication before using Digest authentication.
Which makes sense I guess since I have not really told it what authentication method to use first.
Is there a way to force HttpClient to firsty try digest authentication ... or to try any specific authentication method first ?
Section 3.3 ( third paragraph ) of RFC 2617 also allows pre-emptively sending the Authorization header for digest authentication.
