I use setUsername(...) and setPassword(...) within JAXRSClientFactoryBean. I do
not configure HttpConduit manually in any way.

I added logging feature to my setup, but for some reasons I currently can't
figure out, I don't see any log messages on my console. But here is a sample
message copied from my tcp-monitor (they look all the same):
Status Code: 401 Unauthorized
Content-Length: 1033
Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8
Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2012 14:15:09 GMT
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Spring Security Application"
The HTTP Body contains an error message HTML encoded.
Best regards.
