Re: [jetty-users] Digest Authentication not working 
Hi,

I submitted the bug.
I've tried both Basic and Digest authentication and the wireshark logs don't show the actual credentials being sent. If I just use a browser on the same page as the code, I can see credentials being sent and the browser can authenticate. Is there anything in addition to the sample code that needs to be done for the jetty http client to actually authenticate? - Erich

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));

You are adding a BasicAuthentication for Digest authentication ?

You should add a DigestAuthentication, not a BasicAuthentication.

Perhaps the documentation is too laconic about... it shows an example
of Basic authentication.
Did you misinterpret it that the same code would work for Digest
authentication too ?


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)

Right.

Please file an issue at the documentation component here:
