I've also been having a problem with ACLs and tried the code given below but got
these errors!
Any clues as to why I am getting these errors? Also I can access the ACL
protected urls by having the username and password embedded in the url like so
http://<username>:<password>@<yourURL>.
This works fine when I type it in the browser but doesn't work within java with
URLConnection as it does something strange with the url.
E.g. When I give this as my url in the java program,
http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/dir ...when it tries to make a url connection it
tries to connect to>>>>>> http://user/dir <<<<<< - any ideas!!!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> HERE ARE THE ERRORS I GOT when running the sample
prog. below...
GetAuthURL.java:6: Class java.security.Permission not found in import.
import java.security.Permission;
^
GetAuthURL.java:22: ';' expected.
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
^
GetAuthURL.java:39: Superclass Authenticator of inner class GetAuthURL. MyAuth
not found.
public class MyAuth extends Authenticator
^
3 errors
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Can you help?
thanks, navid

Scott,
I just had the same problem last week. Below is a copy of the code that
worked for me, without needing to create any HTTP headers or do any Base64
encoding! You'll need to update the URL and the passwd to your own.

---------------------
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.security.Permission;
public class GetAuthURL extends HttpServlet {
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
super.init(config);
}
public void service(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException {
ServletOutputStream out = res.getOutputStream();
HttpSession sesssion = req.getSession(false);
URL url = new URL("http://www.yahoo.com"); ///put your ACL
protected URL
here
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
Authenticator.setDefault(new MyAuth());
String contentType = connection.getContentType();
res.setContentType(contentType);
InputStream in = connection.getInputStream();
char ch;
int data = in.read();
while (data != -1) {
out.write(data);
data = in.read();
}
out.close();
}
public class MyAuth extends Authenticator {
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
String login = "bnash";
char[] passwd = {'b','o','g','u','s','9','9','9'};
return new PasswordAuthentication(login, passwd);
}
}
}
