The browser takes care of that, and you should not be trying to over-
ride it.
If you don't want to retype the username/password all the time, then
you can
tell teh browser to remember the password, or have the server in
question not
asking for the password, understanding the consequences - this latter
one
being more of a 'social' issue than a technical one.
If you don't want an authentication attempt without having a secure
connection,
then you could arrange to have any http pages redirect to https.

Thank you for the link, André-John!
User should access the application directly (not proxying).
On
http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/tutorial.html
as I see header is created for programatic access and not via browser.
Is it possible to do this when I use browser for accessing? How?
