Class HttpAuthenticator

java.lang.Object

java.net.Authenticator

edu.indiana.lib.twinpeaks.net.HttpAuthenticator

public class HttpAuthenticator
extends Authenticator

Handle network authentication.

When we try to access a protected site, getPasswordAuthentication() is called by the network connection code (HttpURLConnection in our case) to obtain any credentials (username and password) required to access the site.

Note: This only occurs until we successfully "log in" - after that, we are not invoked again for the site in question.
