Dirk,
Thanks a lot for your reply. I went with Slide's
version of HttpClient and advanced further until I got
to the point where I would like to ask for help again.
During my interaction with a remote WebDAV server
it sends 401 request for Digest Access Authentication (MD5)
and my client, I assume, automatically tries to perform
authentication but failed with a message:
"HTTP Exception: No credentials given, Status Code: -2"
Setting up credentials for HttpClient makes no sense
since the server expects MD5 authentication. The first
question I have is if there is way to turn off auto-authentication
feature of HttpClient and the second if client side API
of Slide provides means to carry out MD5 validation.
If no - no big deal, I can do it manually yet to do this
I need to read headers of a response from the server
and though it seems like very common task, I cannot
find anything in client API to make it happen.
Thank you for your time.
Best of luck,
Yuriy Zubarev
