It seems that camel-http4 component (or the httpclient ) loses credentials when a custom HttpClientConfigurer is used.
Here is my configuration: from("servlet:///proxy?matchOnUriPrefix=true") .removeHeader(Exchange.HTTP_URI) .removeHeader(Exchange.HTTP_PATH) .removeHeader(Exchange.HTTP_QUERY) .to("https4://aupdc-osb01d:9002/P2P_Creditors/P2P_CreditorWS?wsdl&httpClientConfigurerRef=SecureHttpClientConfigurer&authUsername="+_authUsername+"&authPassword="+_authPassword+"&x509HostnameVerifier=AllowAllVerifier"); Here is the log output: [ qtp9368661-18] wire DEBUG << "[\r][\n]" [ qtp9368661-18] DefaultClientConnection DEBUG Receiving response: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized [ qtp9368661-18] headers DEBUG << HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized [ qtp9368661-18] headers DEBUG << Connection: close [ qtp9368661-18] headers DEBUG << Date: Wed, 06 Jul 2011 07:28:04 GMT [ qtp9368661-18] headers DEBUG << Content-Length: 1518 [ qtp9368661-18] headers DEBUG << Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 [ qtp9368661-18] headers DEBUG << WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="weblogic" [ qtp9368661-18] headers DEBUG << X-Powered-By: Servlet/2.5 JSP/2.1 [ qtp9368661-18] DefaultHttpClient DEBUG Target requested authentication [ qtp9368661-18] ultTargetAuthenticationHandler DEBUG Authentication schemes in the order of preference: [negotiate, NTLM, Digest, Basic] [ qtp9368661-18] ultTargetAuthenticationHandler DEBUG Challenge for negotiate authentication scheme not available [ qtp9368661-18] ultTargetAuthenticationHandler DEBUG Challenge for NTLM authentication scheme not available [ qtp9368661-18] ultTargetAuthenticationHandler DEBUG Challenge for Digest authentication scheme not available [ qtp9368661-18] ultTargetAuthenticationHandler DEBUG Basic authentication scheme selected [ qtp9368661-18] DefaultHttpClient DEBUG Authorization challenge processed [ qtp9368661-18] DefaultHttpClient DEBUG Authentication scope: BASIC 'weblogic'@aupdc-osb01d:9002 [ qtp9368661-18] DefaultHttpClient DEBUG Credentials not found Notice credentials not found. When I do not include the http client configurer, everything works. HttpClientConfigurer does not do anything. Just an NOP: @Override public void configureHttpClient(HttpClient client) { } I'm looking thorugh the source code but I can not figure it out...
