Now why would you want to do that ?
I want to connect applications: one is running on Tomcat (Java/
Struts) with
another (php).
I have an application running on Tomcat that has a link to other
application
which is on another server. Application on another server is
protected with:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication
I want to pass credentials after link is clicked, so I don't need to
fill
the username and password informations. I see that I might need to
add row:
"Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ=="
in the request header.
Is this possible to do? How?
Is your Tomcat proxying a connection, or do you an application that
needs
information from another application, but is not exposed to the user?
If it is the latter, then you could look at using Apache HttpClient:
http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/
and then adding the header in the request.
If the user is going to be accessing the application directly, then
there
is a reason the security is in place and you should not over-ride it,
unless
you are sure the people who protected the resource are fine with it.
If the
resource is requires authentication, then I would be surprised they
would be
okay with it, but I am not going to make any assumptions.
