Eli Collins commented on HADOOP-7119:
-------------------------------------

How about contributing it to HttpComponents?  Looks like it would be a relevant addition to their project, saves us from adding a generic library to core Hadoop and we can leverage their existing project/infrastructure.

> Currently the JT/NN/DN/TT web-consoles don't support any form of authentication.
> Hadoop RPC API already supports Kerberos authentication.
> Kerberos enables single sign-on.
> Popular browsers (Firefox and Internet Explorer) have support for Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO.
> Adding support for Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO to Hadoop web consoles would provide a unified authentication mechanism and single sign-on for Hadoop web UI and Hadoop RPC.
