The following lines of code add HTTP BASIC
Authentication Header Token to the http request
message, like
"Authorization: Basic base64encoded(username:password)".

The code works fine under desktop JVM, while in
mysaifu, 401 UNAUTHORIZED is returned.

Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator() {
protected PasswordAuthentication
getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication
(username, password.toCharArray());
}
});

I checked source code of gnu.java.net package, I'm not sure
bug it seems that GNU Classpath does not support
java.net.Authenticator.

No biggie. I have a workaround of adding an HTTP BASIC
Authentication header via java.net.HttpURLConnection class
as follows,

httpURLConnection.setRequestProperty("Authorization",
"Basic
"+Base64.encodeBytes((username+":"+password).getBytes()));

along with the Base64 class from here,

Thanks
