[jetty-users] Digest Authentication not working

[Erich Bremer <erich@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Digest authentication does not seem to be working.  I checked with 
wireshark and the auth information is not present but verified it was 
visible with curl which does upload fine and does send the digest auth 
credentials.

The code example used is on the following URL:

http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/http-client-other.html

under the section "Authentication Support":

String uri ="http://domain.com/secure";;
String realm ="MyRealm";
String user ="username";
String pass ="password";

// Add authentication credentials
AuthenticationStore auth = httpClient.getAuthenticationStore();
auth.addAuthentication(new  BasicAuthentication(uri, realm, user, pass));

ContentResponse response = httpClient
        .newRequest(uri)
        .send()
        .get(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);


There also seems to be an error in the text:

new  BasicAuthentication(uri, realm, user, pass)
looks like it is
expecting (uri, string, string, string)
not (string, string, string, string)
