Android Question HTTP download to secured page

[tchart]

I am trying to download a web page using HttpUtils2. The page is secured using Basic authentication.

If I try to download the web page with no username & password I get a 401 unauthorized error which is expected.

However if I supply the correct username and password I get an error of;

Error: org.apache.http.client.ClientProtocolException

Searching on Google this appears to have something to do with pre-emptive authentication.

Has anybody got a work around for this in B4A?

Thanks

HttpClient follows the protocol and only sends the authentication header after it received a 401 code (except in the case of POST messages with input streams).
