I cant seem to get the user name using request.getRemoteUser().
Since the user logs in via htpasswd, I should be able to get his/her username
via this method. However, I keep getting "null" instead of the actual username.
I stumped. Is there something wrong with the code below ? Any help would be
appreciated :)
String username = request.getRemoteUser();
// Returns the name of the user making this request, or null
if not known.
if (username == null)
{
response.getWriter().println("Sorry. Mummy said never
talk to strangers");
}
else
{
// Do your thing here....
// At startup, make the form ready for user queries
display_query_result(request, response, "start");
}
