I found a bug in WebServer.java.
A private field "base64Codec" of the nested class "Connection"
is not initialized before used in the method "parseAuth()".
Thus, a NullPointerException is always thrown inside the "try"
block in the above method. But the Exception is ignored.
At last, the arguments "user" and "password" of
AuthenticatedXmlRpcHandler#execute() are always null.
The correction is obvious:
insert the following snippet befor the above try block.
if (base64Codec == null) {
base64Codec = new Base64();
}
This problem is also reported by "Terrance Davis"
