When authentication is required and 401 is returned it's not plain HTTP. They may intend to force callers to send credentials with the first request in order to safe some resources, that however should be documented somewhere. At least you need to know what authentication method is required before hand if the server never returns the accepted. -- Arno Garrels -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
