Pier,
Thanks for this very useful utility. It appears WebSphere is adding by default some
additional authentication scheme. Which I'll have to make use of, or disable. I
appreciate your help.
Here are the returned HTTP headers.
HTTP/1.1 401 ok
Server: Microsoft-IIS/4.0
Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2000 17:02:15 GMT
WWW-Authenticate: NTLM
content-type:text/html
WWW-Authenticate:BASIC realm="New Business"

I wrote a stupid java class to test out headers on an HTTP connection, you
might want to run it using your url on WebSphere, and post me, or to the
list, the results... It does really depend on what headers WebSphere is
sending back.
