Question

I have :

• RESTLET GWT 2.1RC1 on the client
• RESTLET J2EE 2.1RC1 on the server

I have been banging my head over this but no matter what I try :

    ClientResource r = new ClientResource("/service" + UsersServiceProxy.URL);
    r.setChallengeRespon​se(ChallengeScheme.H​TTP_BASIC, "user1", "secret");
    r.setOnResponse(new Uniform() {
        public void handle(Request request, Response response) {
           .....
        }
    });
    r.get();

Or this code :

    UserServiceProxy userService = GWT.create(UserServiceProxy.class);
    userService.getClientResource().setReference(url);
    userService.getClientResource().setChallengeResponse(new ChallengeResponse(ChallengeScheme.HTTP_BASIC, "user1", "secret"));
    userService.getUser(username + ":" + password, new Result<User>() {

        @Override
        public void onFailure(Throwable caught) {
                ......
        }

        @Override
        public void onSuccess(User user) {
            .....
        }
    });

Problem :

On the server side no ChallengeResponse (==NULL) is received. Debugging with wireshark shows that no “Authorization:” is sent over the wire.

Using Chrome development tools I can however see that the XHR request is sent to : http://user1:secret@​127.0.1.1:8888/servi​ce/user

so here, username/password are passed to the server but not as authentication header ?
How can I get access to these server side ?

Is my setup incorrect?
Is this a regression of this bug?

Answer 1

No authorization header sent in Restlet GWT Edition 2.1RC1, I submitted a patch that fixes at least BASIC auth so I can move on.
