Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-6444:
---------------------------------------

Right, pardon the dumb question. What I meant was use the HttpClient directly but if there's still some convenience afforded by the REST client classes we can add request configuration callbacks, no problem.

> My corporate security office (ISO) requires that all http traffic get routed through a Web Access Management layer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_access_management)
> Our Hadoop cluster has been segmented by a virtual network with all access to HBase from outside clients being managed through HBase Stargate rest server.
> The corporate WAM system requires that all http clients authenticate with it first before making any http request to any http service in the corporate network. After the http client authenticates with the WAM system the WAM system returns the client a set of values that must be inserted into a http cookie and request header of all future http requests to other http clients.
> This would mean that all requests through the RemoteHTable interface would require that this cookie and request header be set as part of the http request. org.apache.hadoop.hbase.rest.client.Client looks like the appropriate place that this functionality would need to be plugged into.
