HttpFileSystemConfigBuilder needs option for preemptive authentication
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: VFS-316
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-316
Project: Commons VFS
Issue Type: Bug
Environment: IIS WebDAV
Reporter: David Hausladen
Fix For: 2.0
I find that the credential challenges produced by the WebdavFileSystem as it
uses the HttpClient creates a great deal of superfluous HTTP traffic just to
perform BASIC authentication. In some scenarios, dumbed-down preemptive
authentication is needed for swifter traversals of the repository.
I suggest adding preemptive authentication to HttpFileSystemConfigBuilder and
HttpClientFactory to address this problem.
