RE: [cinjug-users] RESTful service HTTP digest authentication

["Hudson, Loren (GE Infra, Aviation, Non-GE, US)" <loren.hudson@xxxxxx>]

I can personally speak to the ease of use of Apache's HttpClient.  I was trying to use Sun's API, and it would have worked fine, but I had to authenticate to both an internal proxy and the external website, keep cookies, the whole nine yards.  With HttpClient, not only did I get farther in 15 minutes than I did with Sun in 4 hours, but I used less code.

Thanks for the info.  I think I can use HttpClient, but I will 
spend some time tomorrow on Restlet API to see which is better from implementing 
digest authentication's point.

If you cannot find a RESTful client, you should consider using Jakarta commons HttpClient.

I also remember reading last year about Java Restlet API: www.restlet.org

But I have not used them.

Has anybody implemented a client to talk to RESTful service with HTTP digest authentication or can somebody point me to the right place for this like examples etc.

 

Thanks!
