Deprecated! use - org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.HttpAuthenticator

Utility methods for HTTP authorization and authentication. This class provides utility methods for generating responses to HTTP www and proxy authentication challenges.

A client SHOULD assume that all paths at or deeper than the depth of the last symbolic element in the path field of the Request-URI also are within the protection space specified by the BasicScheme realm value of the current challenge. A client MAY preemptively send the corresponding Authorization header with requests for resources in that space without receipt of another challenge from the server. Similarly, when a client sends a request to a proxy, it may reuse a userid and password in the Proxy-Authorization header field without receiving another challenge from the proxy server.
