Have you tried the empty string ?

Is the server sending the challenge with a realm at all ?

Can you detail the server response headers ?

Hi, 

I have set up a local Proxy Server and
made a few tests:
- I have tried with the empty String
- I received 407 Unauthorized as response;
- I have tried with a valid realm value
("CCProxy Authorization"),
I receive 200 OK as response;
- empty realm String ends with NPE;
- the server is sending the challenge
with a realm;
- Response headers :
Server: Proxy
Proxy-Authenticate: Basic realm="CCProxy
Authorization"
Cache-Control: no-cache
Connection: close
Proxy-Connection: Close
Content-Length: 265

The question remains still the same
- is there any option like in the Apache HttpClient API to set credentials
for any realm ?
