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

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?
