  2. Cool... but complicated, no?[ Go to top ]

    It is still a good step in the right direction.

    As an alternative, check out this: http://www.devx.com/Java/Article/17679/0
    Also, the server side of the game (together with the aforementioned client side) is published here: http://www.myjavatools.com/

  3. Are there any commercial versions of Http Clients available?[ Go to top ]

    I checked nogoop. It doesn't satisfy all my requirements. I need cookie and session management also in the libraries. Is there any package available?

  4. jCookie[ Go to top ]

    The HTTP protocol handler in TestMaker's TOOL library uses jCookie to handle cookies and maintain sessions. jCookie has worked well for my application. Details are at:

    http://jcookie.sourceforge.net/

    And the PushToTest Web site hosts jCookie's JavaDoc at:

    http://docs.pushtotest.com/jcookie/jCookie-0.8b/docs/api/

    Hope this helps.

  9. Http proxy error[ Go to top ]

    We have a proxy that requires username and password to access internet. I have trouble with the proxy. By following the direction in the article, here is the code,

            HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
            client.getHostConfiguration().setProxy(proxyhost, 80);
            client.getState().setProxyCredentials("Basic", proxyhost,
                   new UsernamePasswordCredentials(userID, password));

    Here is the response

    *** Request ***

    Host: www.yahoo.com

  10. Http proxy error[ Go to top ]

    Dear c tang,

    The response header returned from proxy server NetApp/5.6 indicates that NLTM authentication scheme is used. so try this one:

    client.getState().setProxyCredentials("NTLM", proxyhost,
                   new NTCredentials(userName, password, host, domain));

    Dear Ali,

    I tried your suggestion before, it yielded the same result. I also tried to use NETCACHE and case variations of them. Nothing works!

    Try it with null realm i.e.

    client.getState().setProxyCredentials(null, proxyhost, new NTCredentials(userName, password, host, domain));

    Thanks, it works.

    In httpclient Authentication guide, it states "It is generally advised that while initially testing NTLM authentication, you pass the realm in as null which is used as the default." I intepret that a realm should be passed in real product system. However, I got a 407 error if a realm is passed as argument.

  14. Code does not work in Laptop[ Go to top ]

    Hi, I found this code very helpful. I have deployed this code in Desktop where it works fine, but when I am running on laptop then it sends the error saying connection refused (I am configuring the proxy server settings). My understanding is since it uses the HTTP post method and if laptop does not have the COM ports, it does not work. Is my understanding is correct? Please help me out to resolve this error. thanks
