I'm using Basic authentication.

The problem is I'm using Axis "CommonsHttpSender" and not directly 
commons-http.

The only way I've found to make it work is to extends CommonsHttpSender 
and override "getHostConfiguration" protected method to put a hack :

    protected HostConfiguration getHostConfiguration(HttpClient client, 
MessageContext context, URL targetURL)
    {
        client.getParams().setAuthenticationPreemptive(true);
        return super.getHostConfiguration(client, context, targetURL);
    }

I was looking for a way to setup 'global' parameters to set this as 
defualt. I've tested setting HttpClientParams.PREEMPTIVE_AUTHENTICATION 
as a param in HttpConnectionManager, but this has no effect.
