apache-commons-httpclient

Iam trying to login to a https secured site using Apache commons httpclient. Iam not getting any way to pass the certificate along with my httprequest , since I cannot find any such classes in HttpClient Package. If anybody can guide me on where do I need to add the certificate handling? Any package to do it? Am open to ideas, any other way to do this in java. The platform must be only java however.. I have posted my code below. import java.net.MalformedURLException; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.*; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.cookie.CookiePolicy; import org.apache.commons

I want to use mutual SSL authentication between service A and B. I'm currently implementing passing the client certificate from service A in Java. I'm using Apache DefaultHttpClient to execute my requests. I was able to retrieve the client certificate for my service A from an internal credential manager and I keep it as an array of bytes. DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(); byte [] certificate = localCertManager.retrieveCert(); I have very little experience in this area and I'd appreciate your help! I thought maybe it should be somehow passed through arguments in the HTTP

I'm writing HTTP connection with Kerberos authentication. I have "HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized". Could you recommend me what I should check? I think there's somethink trick, but I don't see it. May be I should set header "WWW-Authenticate" with "Negotiate"? Thank a lot in advanced for any help and ideas. public class ClientKerberosAuthentication { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { System.setProperty("java.security.auth.login.config", "login.conf"); System.setProperty("java.security.krb5.conf", "krb5.conf"); System.setProperty("sun.security.krb5.debug", "true"); System

I found some examples here on how to download a file but most of them seem to be using HttpURLConnection. is it possible to download files with HttpClient? Using httpclient is pretty easy. Here's a link to it's tutorial. http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/tutorial/html/fundamentals.html#d5e43 HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(urltofetch); HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpget); HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity(); if (entity != null) { long len = entity.getContentLength(); InputStream inputStream = entity.getContent(); /

I'm using org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient and need to setup response encoding (for some reason server returns incorrect encoding in Content-Type). My way is to get response as raw bytes and convert to String with desired encoding. I'm wondering if there is some better way to do this (eg. setup HttpClient). Thanks for suggestions. I don't think there's a better answer using HttpClient 3.x APIs. The HTTP 1.1 spec says clearly that a client "must" respect the character set specified in the response header, and use ISO-8859-1 if no character set is specified. The HttpClient APIs are

I am getting a "multipart/mixed" response to an http request that I need to parse. One part of the response is a pdf file which I need to save to disk. Is there any library that will do this for me? Here is what I did in groovy. Needed java mail library: //... get reader from response, can use response.success callback in http.request ByteArrayDataSource ds = new ByteArrayDataSource(new ReaderInputStream(reader), "multipart/mixed"); MimeMultipart multipart = new MimeMultipart(ds); BodyPart part = multipart.getBodyPart(1); file = new File('/../../path/filename.pdf') file << part.content Have
