Hi, I need to use preeemptive authentication and was very frustrated to see that the simple client.getParams().setAuthenticationPreemptive(true); of older versions was replaced by a block of not understandable code in the tutorial that everyone now needs to implement in his code every time he needs this functionality - very wrong way in my opinion.
I am writing now because the examples posted under http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/tutorial/html/authenticati on.html and http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/httpclient/examples/org/ap ache/http/examples/client/ClientPreemptiveBasicAuthentication.java are not working with the latest HttpClient 4.1.2 - ClientContext.AUTH_CACHE and EntityUtils.consume are not available :( So how to do preemptive basic with new releases? Another thing: I sent this message first using the "Post" link on http://hc.apache.org/mail-lists.html. Some time later I got a mail that the message was not accepted and I should register to the mailing-list. If this is the way you want to have it done, you should remove the "Post" link from the page, as this is clearly misleading. regards, christian! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
