I'm having a problem getting httpclient-rc1 to authenticate using digest to our IAS server. I've tried upgrading to rc3 without any effect. I also got our IT guys to upgrade IAS without luck. I was also able to have the GET method work under IAS and CONNECT to work with a couple other proxy servers. After examining ethereal logs for my (commons) code and firefox to the same URLs I noticed that the value for the "uri" setting in the "Proxy-Authorization" header was the only significant difference. After looking at RFC 2617 I noticed that in section 3.2.2 (The Authorization Request Header) it states:
digest-uri The URI from Request-URI of the Request-Line; duplicated here because proxies are allowed to change the Request-Line in transit. A re-examination of the headers showed that firefox was matching the Request-URI with the digest-uri but that httpclient was not. I tried modifying the RC3 source to produce a hard-coded value for "uri" and demonstrated that it would successfully authenticate to that URI. I also checked that authentication would fail to any other URI and it did. If you give me some hints on how to implement a fix I'll try to produce a patch and get permission to submit it. Any help or advice is welcome. I have the ethereal logs on hand and can produce wire logs if desired. Any other tests you guys think will help I'll try to do as soon as I can.
