---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Brian Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 07-Mar-2006 03:51 Subject: Can't send BASIC Auth to Tomcat To: [email protected] I'm using Apache's XML-RPC version 2 with an out of the box Tomcat 5.5.7 installation. I want to send BASIC authentication headers to the XML-RPC server running inside a HttpServlet class on my Tomcat web app. I can execute non-auth based xml-rpc requests no problem, the only issue I have is getting the Authorization header information passed on to my Servlet. Here's the basic snippet of code I call, but the HttpServletRequest object on the server is the same with or without the 2nd line. this.trans = new CommonsXmlRpcTransport(this.url); this.trans.setBasicAuthentication("AKJADA", "ASFAFDS"); Object obj = client.execute(req, this.trans); Do I need some sort of rewrite rules in Tomcat or is there some way to let the servlet handle the authentication? It seems Tomcat strips that header before passing it onto the servlet. Brian
