[OSM-dev] Basic http authentication with OpenStreetMap apis

[Alberto Almagro]

Hello,

I'm developing an application that needs to connect to OpenStreetMap's
API (http://api.openstreetmap.org/ and also
http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/).

I use maven, hibernate, spring and tapestry. When I execute maven's
test phase, my application establishes connection successfully with
OSM only adding a header to the http request like the following:

Authorization: Basic bV9qb3NlbmhhbnNAd2fiLmRlOmJsdWVkaWFtb25k

The problems started when I included this use case in the web
interface, at the beggining it prompted an error telling me that I
didn't have credentials to connect... so I added the following code:

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
                       client.getState().setCredentials(
                                       AuthScope.ANY,
                                       new
UsernamePasswordCredentials(cuentaOsm.getOsmLoginMail(),
cuentaOsm.getOsmClearPassword()));

And after that it prompts me the following error:

19-ene-2011 23:26:27
org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.AuthChallengeProcessor
selectAuthScheme
INFO: basic authentication scheme selected

I don't know what happends, maybe that 'Web Password' realm isn't
correct... I'm very confused... In the test phase all continues
working OK.

¿Any help please?

Thank you in advance,
Alberto
