Hello. I'm using HTTPClient 4.2.5 to fetch a variety of resources in a very simple way.
String url="http://...";; DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(); httpClient.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials( new AuthScope(AuthScope.ANY_HOST, AuthScope.ANY_PORT), new NTCredentials("USERNAME", "PASSWORD", "", "DOMAIN")); HttpResponse proxiedResponse = httpClient.execute(new HttpGet(url)); int statusCode = proxiedResponse.getStatusLine().getStatusCode(); 99% of the time, were using NTLM auth, so everything works fine. However, I just hit an instance where Basic Authentication was failing with a 401. I then tried using UsernamePasswordCredentials and started getting 200's: httpClient.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials( new AuthScope(AuthScope.ANY_HOST, AuthScope.ANY_PORT), new UsernamePasswordCredentials("DOMAIN\\USERNAME", "PASSWORD")); After turning on debug I compared the Authorization headers and saw they were different: 2013/06/19 10:05:11:476 EDT [DEBUG] headers - >> Authorization: Basic ... When using NTCredentials, it is sending "DOMAIN/USERNAME" instead of "DOMAIN\USERNAME". Is "DOMAIN/USERNAME" correct according to specifications, or is the server I'm trying to call incorrect and not handling the credentials properly?
