Authenticated Http requests

[Tiest Vilee]

Hi all!

We (Xuemin and myself) have just started using UtterlyIdle at Springer - so sorry if I end up asking a lot of newb questions (don't want to hassle Dan _all_ day)

Anyway, we are talking to a datasource via REST that requires Digest authentication. UtterlyIdle doesn't supply this out of the box, so I was wondering if anyone had implemented this?

I imagine it would essentially decorate the HttpClient, responding to the 401 by re-requesting with appropriate Authorization header, all done under the covers.

Cheers,

Tiest
