--------------------------------
Summary: Invalid login creds will send many requests to server
Key: CXF-4815
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-4815
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Transports
Affects Versions: 2.7.3, 2.6.6, 2.5.9
Reporter: Daniel Kulp
Assignee: Daniel Kulp
Fix For: 2.7.4, 2.6.7, 2.5.10
If you set authorizations stuff in the HTTPConduit with a wrong password or
username and issue a GET, 20 requests are sent to the server. For
non-streaming connections (like GET), for the 401 response, the
HttpURLConnection calls the Authenticator to get auth information. We create a
new PasswordAuthentication object and return it each time. However, the
HttpURLConnection does not compare that returned value with the previous value
and will keep trying until it hits the http.maxRedirects value (default is 20).
