Hello,
I am trying to use httpclient to login to Exchange OWA with FBA
authentication enabled. I am able to perform FBA authentication.
Exchange kept returning an error saying that cookie is not enabled by
the browser. I have read the primer and I have seen many posts around
this area. I have copied some of the solution, but I can't get it to
work somehow. I have copied the code snipet that I used as well as the
debug output of the wire. I am just wondering if anyone encounters
similar issue or know what's wrong with the code below. I have tried all
the combination of CookiePolicy as well and I still get the same
results.
I thank you in advance for your time.
Regards,
Ridwan
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
sb.append("<somehostname>");
System.out.println(sb.toString());
HttpClient http = new HttpClient();
HttpConnectionParams connParams =
http.getHttpConnectionManager().getParams();
connParams.setConnectionTimeout(60*1000);
HttpClientParams params = new HttpClientParams();
HttpState initialState = new HttpState();
// and then added to your HTTP state instance
http.setParams(params);
http.setState(initialState);
GetMethod get = new GetMethod(sb.toString());
get.getParams().setCookiePolicy(CookiePolicy.BROWSER_COMPATIBILITY);
http.executeMethod(get);
get.getResponseBodyAsString();
get.releaseConnection();
