Answer 1

Appendix on the brilliant and very helpfull answer of CSchulz:

in http client 4.3 this:

localcontext.setAttribute(ClientContext.AUTH_CACHE, authCache);

does not work anymore (ClientContext.AUTH_CACHE is deprecated)

use:

import org.apache.http.client.protocol.HttpClientContext;

and

localcontext.setAttribute(HttpClientContext.AUTH_CACHE, authCache);

see http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/httpclient/apidocs/org/apache/http/client/protocol/ClientContext.html
