                 Key: NUTCH-539
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-539
             Project: Nutch
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: fetcher
    Affects Versions: 0.8
            Reporter: Ravi Chintakunta
            Priority: Minor


For Nutch to fetch pages with basic authentication, the HttpClient should be 
configured with the username and password credentials. 

For this to work:

1. Add the username and password credentials to nutch-site.xml as below:

<property>
  <name>http.auth.basic.username</name>
  <value>myusername</value>
  <description>
        username for http basic auth
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>http.auth.basic.password</name>
  <value>mypassword</value>
  <description>
        password for http basic auth
  </description>
</property>

2. Configure httpclient with these credentials by applying the attached patch 
to 
nutch/src/plugin/protocol-httpclient/src/java/org/apache/nutch/protocol/httpclient/Http.java
