Android Question httputils2 and basic authentication problem

[n3t]

I have some problem with httputils2 and basic authentication.
First when I call the .download method for a HttpJob the first connection is made without authentication and only on a second call the connection is ok (see the server log at bottom).

And why I can not make a GET call with the chance to change the http header?
job1.GetRequest.SetContentType("application/json; charset=UTF-8")
job1.GetRequest.SetHeader("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.0")
job1.GetRequest.SetHeader("Authorization", "basic FEWSREWTREWTWT

I attach a very simple demo.

Sub bLogin_Click

    Dim s_user, s_password As String
      s_user = "info@xxxxxxxx.com"
      s_password= "zzzzzzzz"


    Dim job1 As HttpJob
    job1.initialize("Authentication", Me)
    ' with this url all ok (the 1° first connection hasn't then basic authentication
    'job1.Download("http://emea.extenua.com:888/root/Auth")

    ' with this url I failed alway
    job1.Download("http://emea.extenua.com:888/root/D_JHB5WSA47BFEDK3HDBLMEMJMZE/Auth")

    job1.Username = s_user
    job1.Password = s_password

    'job1.GetRequest.SetContentType("application/json; charset=UTF-8")
    'job1.GetRequest.SetHeader("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.0")
    'job1.GetRequest.SetHeader("Authorization", "basic FEWSREWTREWTWT")

End Sub

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Solved using PostString method and setting basic authentication into http header.
Use base64 function to generate correct header.

You can post the complete solution

For future references an example of showing exactly what you did and how to get this work would be nice to see for any users in future if they search for basic authentication
