Hi Dheeraj,

Are you hitting "https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/" through a proxy?  If so, 
you you will need to setup the HttpClient instance for the proxy.  You 
will also need to supply NTLM credentials if it is an NTLM proxy.  Are 
you able to connect to other pages on this site besides the login page?
