I'm losing my mind on this. My curl command works:
curl http: // testuser: testpwd @ qabox3 : 8501 / xmlcontroller
But when I try to use an equivalent http connection in Java, it gives a "connection failure". What am I missing? I tried a dozen tastes, trying to make this connection today, and I am not aware of the ideas.
URL url = new URL( "http://qabox3:8051/xmlcontroller" );
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod( "GET" );
String encoding = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode( "testuser:testpwd".getBytes() );
conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + encoding );
InputStream content = conn.getInputStream();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( content ) );
String line;
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println( line );
}
Alternatively, I can use Java Runtime.exec () to execute the curl command and which still works ... so I'm obviously doing something wrong in the HttpURLConnection materials.
Here is the stack I see (now using HttpClient, but basically the same stack with Java libraries).

Just for fun, here is a long apical conclusion. Nothing special in the title ...
