 Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2006 8:12 am Post subject: Automate authentication of a web-site through HTTPUrlConnect |
 |
|
Hi Guys,
I have a website which uses SSL communication. When someone tries to
access this site, it pops up a HTTP authentication box and only on
successfull authentication can a client access the site.
I am trying to write a utility whcih can try to access this site once a
day. I am using HTTPUrlConnection for this but I have no idea how would
the utility provide credentials information to the application. I
tried doing this -
URL mySite = new URL(mySiteURL);
HttpURLConnection mySiteConn =
(HttpURLConnection)mySite.openConnection();
mySiteConn.setRequestProperty("Authentication", "rajiv:welcome");
mySiteConn.setRequestMethod("GET");
int httpStatusCode = mySiteConn.getResponseCode();
but "mySiteConn.getResponseCode()" is throwing IOException.
Can someone please tell me how can I possibly do this?

You might want to look into the HttpClient toolkit
