Howdy all,
I'm trying to make a servlet act as a filter for requests going to a 2nd
web site, like so.
user ---> servlet ---> second site.
The second site is using basic authentication. Now what I want to do is
have the servlet pass a userid:password to server2 based on session
information.
I'm doing the following :
URL url = new URL( hostname + uri );
URLConnection urlc = url.openConnection();
String password = "username:password";
String encoded = HTTPClient.Codecs.base64Encode(password);
String basic = "Basic " + encoded ;
urlc.setRequestProperty( "Authorization",
basic );
int loop=0;
String header_resp;
while( ( header_resp = urlc.getHeaderField(loop)) != null )
{
System.out.println( loop + " : " + header_resp );
loop++;
}
InputStream is = url.openStream();
int i;
while( (i = is.read()) != -1 ) { out.write(i); }
is.close();
out.close();
Now comes the bizarre part. I keep seeing the 401.2 (authorization
denied) page.
However, when I dump the headers of the response, I get the following:
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Microsoft-IIS - 4.0
<todays date>
text/html
bytes
<doc creation date>
"some cryptic strings"
3504
Why am I getting the 200 OK, and the 401.2 pages ? Aren't these are
mutually exclusive, or am I on crack ?
Alfonso.
