I refer to this link to request to the server. The problem is sometime (not always, about 20% - 30%, means sometime I can get successful response), I got the 401 error and server response basic authorization challenge expected, but not found.
Here is my code:
HttpRequestInterceptor preemptiveAuth = new HttpRequestInterceptor()
{
public void process(final HttpRequest request, final HttpContext context)
throws HttpException, IOException
{
AuthState authState = (AuthState) context
.getAttribute(ClientContext.TARGET_AUTH_STATE);
CredentialsProvider credsProvider = (CredentialsProvider) context
.getAttribute(ClientContext.CREDS_PROVIDER);
HttpHost targetHost = (HttpHost) context
.getAttribute(ExecutionContext.HTTP_TARGET_HOST);
if (authState.getAuthScheme() == null)
{
AuthScope authScope = new AuthScope(targetHost.getHostName(),
targetHost.getPort());
Credentials creds = credsProvider.getCredentials(authScope);
if (creds != null)
{
authState.setAuthScheme(new BasicScheme());
authState.setCredentials(creds);
}
}
}
};
Here is my authentication:
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(SERVER_AUTH_URL);
httpPost.setHeader("Content-type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");
httpPost.setHeader("Keep-Alive", "300");
httpPost.setHeader("Connection", "Keep-Alive");
StringEntity se = new StringEntity(myRequest, "UTF-8");
httpPost.setEntity(se);
se.setContentType("text/xml");
se.setContentEncoding("gzip,deflate");
//add preemptiveAuth
client.addRequestInterceptor(preemptiveAuth, 0);
//Set the proxy
ProxySelectorRoutePlanner routePlanner = new ProxySelectorRoutePlanner(
client.getConnectionManager().getSchemeRegistry(),
ProxySelector.getDefault());
client.setRoutePlanner(routePlanner);
List<String> authPrefs = new ArrayList<String>();
authPrefs.add(AuthPolicy.BASIC);
authPrefs.add(AuthPolicy.NTLM);
authPrefs.add(AuthPolicy.DIGEST);
client.getParams().setParameter("http.auth.scheme-priority", authPrefs);
CredentialsProvider credProvider = new BasicCredentialsProvider();
// client.getParams().setParameter("http.auth.scheme-priority",
// authPrefs);
credProvider.setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY,
new NTCredentials(getUsername(), getPassword(),
"", getDomain()));
Log.d(TAG, "repair excute");
client.setCredentialsProvider(credProvider);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(httpPost);
Log.d(TAG, "has excute");
From the comment code, you can see I tried many ways, but the error wasn't disappear. Here is logcat say:

So, please tell me where is my problem. Thanks in advance.
Update: the target server is Exchange Web Service 2010. For some reason, I don't want to use EWS API, I made my own xml request to connect to the server (this xml request works properly).
And here is the response header from server
When request failed:
Server Microsoft-IIS/7.5
WWW-Authenticate Negotiate
WWW-Authenticate NTLM
X-Powered-By ASP.NET
Date Fri, 25 May 2012 03:47:57 GMT
Content-Length 0
When request success the first time:
Cache-Control private
Transfer-Encoding chunked
Content-Type text/xml; charset=utf-8
Server Microsoft-IIS/7.5

and the second time:

The cookie is my problem, isn't it?
I was struggling with Android HTTP basic last week. I have tried maybe 3 or 4 different ways of doing it and always I found some problem. Right now the only way I managed to make it work was the simplest way.
UsernamePasswordCredentials credentials = new UsernamePasswordCredentials(user, pass);
Header header = new BasicScheme().authenticate(credentials, mHttpRequest);
mHttpRequest.addHeader(header);
That worked for me with AndroidHttpClient.
