Hi Jaikiran,

Yes - it does support preemptive auth, but only for basic
authentication since only basic is supported out of the
box.

best regards,

I'm testing/integrating the latest OpenJDK upstream HttpClient implementation with one of the libraries I have. Thanks for fixing some of the issues I (and others) had raised before!

Before the introduction of this new API, the HttpURLConnection (which acted as a basic minimal client for HTTP) had an internal implementation detail where it handled preemptive authentication for resources which required auth. Does this new HttpClient implementation support preemptive auth? I haven't seen it exposed as an API (haven't checked the latest merged javadocs). But is it something that's even handled internally currently? Any plans to expose it as an API?
