Description
The current java client only supports the SPENGO authentication method.
This does not support the case when an application proxy like Apache Knox performs AAA conversion from BASIC/DIGEST to kerberos authentication.
Add support for BASIC username/password auth the client.
Generally, the authentication code in the client looks quite backwards, it seems that most of the kerberos / auth cookie code duplicates HttpClient functionality. AFAICT setting HttpClient up (or letting user set it up) , and letting it handle authentication by itself would be a better and more generic solution.
Also add support for specifying a prefix for the URL path.
