My credentials provider gets called on every request. I looked at the Axis
code, and it creates a new HttpClient object for each request. I assume that
is the reason why the credentials cache is not being used.
Any other ideas?
It's up to the CredentialsProvider to handle multiple requests for the
same credentials. You will know that authentication has failed if
HttpClient asks for credentials for the same scheme/host/port more
than once. By default HttpClient caches credentials in the associated
HttpState object (if authentication is successful) and will
automatically reuse them for future requests.
