Authentication/feed collection via java/apache httpclient. Working on some servers not on others. (JSESSIONID changes after login)

(11●2●2) Jul 22 '13, 1:39 p.m.
I have a java program that uses apache httpclient for collecting RSS feeds.  I don't have a lot of experience using httpclient or communicating with RTC servers but the code I have does work just fine on most servers I have tested. (both older servers and 4.0.2)

However there is a group of servers I am having an issue with. Below is the debug log starting with the POST response.  It appears (based on my limited experience) I authenticate successfully but then the subsequent GET returns with authrequired as if I was not authenticated.   I do notice that the JSESSIONID on the GET response is different from the original JSESSIONID, though I am not sure if this is a cause or effect. 

Any idea's what could be going wrong here?

FYI I needed to override isRedirected() in the RedirectStrategy of the httpclient to return true for status codes 301/302.   Seems to be working now.

Hello Ben,
Two ideas come to my mind:
1. Could you use Firebug to check if you have the same issue when using web browser?
2. We had similar issue in the past with WAS. What is your application server version/vendor? Do you use any proxy server in the middle? Could you check server proxy logs?

Thanks for the input!  My issue was actually that I needed to override isRedirected() in the RedirectStrategy of the httpclient to return true for status codes 301/302.   Everything seems to be working great now.
