Having trouble successfully parsing the data GeoServer sends me after a
request is made
with Basic Authentication configured in the web.xml file

I've added the Basic Authentication to the web.xml file  with a 
security-constraint, auth-constraint,login-config and security-role

then when I try to send a request

GeoServer is telling me in the log file everything is ok with the http code
200

But then when I try parsing the XML data GeoServer sends my application

It tries to connect to GeoServer I guess because of the online resource tags
in
the XML document and this fails since it doesn't have the username and
password

I then get an entry in the log file that ends with http 401 952

In my client application that made the request I get the message
Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL:
http://192.168.1.6:8080/geoserver/schemas/wms/1.1.1/WMS_MS_Capabilities.dtd

Is there another piece to the puzzle that I'm missing?


I've also noticed a difference in the data GeoServer gives me with and
without Basic Authentication setup

WIthout authentication the beginning of the XML data looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><WMT_MS_Capabilities
updateSequence="130" version="1.1.1">
  <Service>

With authentication the XML data looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE WMT_MS_Capabilities SYSTEM
"http://192.168.1.6:8080/geoserver/schemas/wms/1.1.1/WMS_MS_Capabilities.dtd";>
<WMT_MS_Capabilities version="1.1.1" updateSequence="57"> 


Anybody know why it's different and if it matters for parsing?
