send login and password to tomcat

[seb]

Hello! I want to protect a directory in my Web Application. Protected
directory: http://localhost:8080/sample/protected/ I did the necessary
things with the „tomcat-user.xml" and „web.xml" file. It works fine.
If the user wants to access a file in the protected directory, a
dialog appears and asks for login and password. With the right
login/password the user can access the files in this directory. But
what I have to do, if I want to access a file in this directory from a
Java program? Naturally a normal access returns a 401 Error code. How
can I send login/password from a Java program? I do not want, that a
dialog box appears.

Thanks

Sebastien

Two ways.
1 - put the userid/passwd into the URI. EG
http://user:passwd@localhost:8080/sample/protected

2 - Put the userid/passwd into the Authorization HTTP header. Study the
HttpURLConnection API to find out how.

Thank you, this way works fine. But is it possible to use this way
when there is not password, only a login?
I have try :http://user:@localhost:8080/sample/protected
and http://user@localhost:8080/sample/protected
but it doesn't work

Thank you for your help
