Two way to do it:
1) More current way:
a) Extend the Authenticator class
b) install it
myAuth = new MyAuthenticator ();
Authenticator.setDefault (this.myAuth);
c)Read in your URL
try {
URL url = new URL (urlString);
InputStream content = (InputStream)url.getContent();
BufferedReader in =
new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (content));
2) manage the interaction yourself (old style)
String userpass = new String
(_userDomain+"/"+_username+":"+_password);
URL url = new URL (urlString);
String encoding = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode
(userpass.getBytes());
URLConnection uc = url.openConnection();
uc.setRequestProperty ("Authorization", "Basic " + encoding);
InputStream content = (InputStream)uc.getInputStream();
BufferedReader in =
new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (content));
------
That's it.
