HTTPBuilder POST with auth

Gleb Kartashov

Seems near impossible to make an authenticated request with HTTPBuilder.

Things I tried

http.auth.basic 'login', 'pass'

<span>headers</span><span>.</span><span>'Authorization'</span> <span>=</span> 
                <span>"Basic ${"</span><span>username</span><span>:</span><span>password</span><span>".bytes.encodeBase64().toString()}"</span>

http.setHeaders([Authorization: "Basic encodedAuthString="])

My code:

 def auth = "login:pass"
String authString = auth.bytes.encodeBase64().toString()
def http = new HTTPBuilder('site.com')
http.setHeaders([Authorization: "Basic"+authString])
http.request( POST ) {
uri.path = '/path'
requestContentType = ContentType.JSON
body = someJson
response.success = { resp,reader ->
// ok
}
}

 None of the above worked for me. Request always results with 401 (Unauthorized)

Have you tried setting the header inside the function, like so?

def http = new HTTPBuilder('site.com')

http.request( POST ) {
    uri.path = '/path'
headers.'Authorization' = 'Basic '+authString
    requestContentType = ContentType.JSON
    body = someJson
    response.success = { resp,reader ->
        // ok
    }
}
