this means that the cern server couldn't find the URL you are
looking for. it didn't even get to the password protection part.
if you have access to the server logs, take a look to see what URL
your client was requesting. i can't help you with the java code,
but this is the way basic authentication works:
<client sends an HTTP request>
<server responds with 401, Unauthorized>
(includes a WWW-Authenticate: field containing a realm)
<client prompts user for name & password>
<client sends new request to same URL, with HTTP field Authorization: ***>
<server responds with 400 OK & document>
note that most clients will store the username & password for a
particular realm for a session & reuse them automatically for each
challenge, so you only get prompted once.
with basic authentication, the only form of encryption used is
base64, which is essentially uuencoding. the being said, you will
need to uuencode the data somehow. perhaps you can use the java
uuencoder class, i'm not sure. (come to think of it, most of this
stuff is probably already implemented for hotjava).
