I do not know a lot about the authentication in Solr, but I do know that it's typically using HTTP basic authentication. As I understand it, for this kind of authentication, every request will require the credentials. I am not aware of any state/session capability where Solr's HTTP API is concerned. As far as I know, the closest Solr comes to this is that certain things, particularly the Collections API, are async capable, where you start a process with one HTTP call and then you can make further requests to check whether it's done. If your software is written in Java, I would strongly recommend SolrJ, rather than constructing the HTTP calls yourself. The code is easier to write and understand. For other languages, there are third-party Solr client libraries available. Thanks, Shawn
