Answer 1

• DefaultHttpClient deprecated
• addHeader must have 2 parameters

Updated code block using HttpClient 4.5.2

HttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet("https://test.com/abc.xyz");
httpGet.addHeader("Authorization", BasicScheme.authenticate(new UsernamePasswordCredentials("login", "password"), "UTF-8"));

HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
HttpEntity responseEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
