Getting an authentication error when using basic auth with https url

[mustafa01ali]

I am getting the following error when I try to do a GET request to an https URL

10-13 21:36:58.372: W/DefaultRequestDirector(9029): Authentication error: Unable to respond to any of these challenges: {}

I've set the basic auth using client.setBasicAuth(), tried with and without the AuthScope with no success.

Hey i am also stuck with this problem.Did you find any luck.??

Here comes my Code

AsyncHttpClient mAsyncHttpClient = new AsyncHttpClient();
mAsyncHttpClient.setBasicAuth("username", "password");

org.apache.http.client.HttpResponseException: Unauthorized
I/onFailure getCustomerOrder(7107): org.apache.http.client.HttpResponseException: Unauthorized
I/onFailure(7107): {"Message":"Authorization has been denied for this request."}
I/onFailure getCustomerOrder(7107): {"Message":"Authorization has been denied for this request."}

I have the exact same problem.

I had the same problem. It seems that the server in these cases is not properly configured, so instead of replying to the GET/POST request by asking for credentials, it simply responds "not authorized" and shuts down. The solution is to pass the username/password in the request header itself.

String userpass = username+":"+password;
String encoded = new String(Base64.encode(userpass.getBytes(),Base64.NO_WRAP));
client.addHeader("Authorization", "Basic "+encoded);
