----------------------------------
Do you have a test case for this?
> 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
>
> Attachments: PREEMPTIVEAUTH.patch
>
>
> 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.
