Method Summary

Map<String,org.apache.http.Header>	getChallenges(org.apache.http.HttpResponse response, org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext context) Deprecated. Extracts from the given HTTP response a collection of authentication challenges, each of which represents an authentication scheme supported by the authentication host.
boolean	isAuthenticationRequested(org.apache.http.HttpResponse response, org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext context) Deprecated. Determines if the given HTTP response response represents an authentication challenge that was sent back as a result of authentication failure
AuthScheme	selectScheme(Map<String,org.apache.http.Header> challenges, org.apache.http.HttpResponse response, org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext context) Deprecated. Selects one authentication challenge out of all available and creates and generates AuthScheme instance capable of processing that challenge.

Method Detail

isAuthenticationRequested

boolean isAuthenticationRequested(org.apache.http.HttpResponse response,
