Further information on this: I can connect successfully to the server
in question using the toolsUI-2.2.22.jar, but I still can't via my own
application. I've had a quick look at the code for HttpClientManager
and HTTPRandomAccessFile and perhaps there is a call to
setDoAuthentication() missing?
Cheers, Jon
