I'm trying to write a servlet that connects to another
server and performs Basic Authentication to download
a file.

Is it necessary to include the Realm in the request?

If I just send the username and password is that enough?

Thanks,

Drew
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
