> Hello,
> The java applets are deprecated, but the issue may impact other use cases=
.
> During a POST call made from a java applet via a proxy server with basic =
authentication, SystemDefaultCredentialsProvider.getSystemCreds(...) calls =
Authenticator.requestPasswordAuthentication, which wrongly returns "null" a=
uthentication.
> The java applet console shows that a NullPointerException was ignored.
> I managed to fix the issue by providing the following values to Authentic=
ator.requestPasswordAuthentication (getSystemCreds is currently providing n=
ull for those ones ):
>   prompt =3D authscope.getRealm()
>   url =3D context.getAttribute(HttpClientContext.HTTP_TARGET_HOST)
> Both values are needed ( prompt =3D=3D null && url !=3D null -> dialog bo=
x asking for credentials, prompt !=3D null && url =3D=3D null -> crashes fi=
refox)
> Note that when downloading the applet jar files, the java is providing va=
lues for all the parameters of Authenticator.requestPasswordAuthentication =
(according to a breakpoint in requestPasswordAuthentication).
> Thanks
