I am doing form-based authentication, however the server that I want to connect to is already set up to do basic authentication and is out of my control.

You have much more flexibility. -----Original Message----- From: Julie Steiner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 5:16 PM Subject: Automatic Basic Authentication Question Hello all, and thanks in advance for the help! :) >From my Struts Action, I am trying to forward to a new URL that uses basic authentication. I have already Authenticated the user, and would like to pass the user credentials to the webserver so that the Authentication form will not 'pop up' . I have attempted to put in the username:password in the authorization header, but this does not seem to work as of yet. This is what I have done so far: BASE64Encoder encoder = new BASE64Encoder(); String header = "username" + ":" + "password"; String encodedHeader = encoder.encode(header.getBytes()); response.addHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + encodedHeader); return (new ActionForward("my secured site", false)); Thanks Again!
