I'll give it a try today and get back to you.

Also, are you guys going to the Jave User Group meeting at M.I.T. on Monday?

Thanks,

Hi there,

to get _any_ http header, you can do:

Form form = (Form) request.getAttributes("org.restlet.http.headers");
String someHeader = form.getFirstValue("a-header");

Or something like that (wrote from top of my head, maybe wrong with
some method name but the idea is clear I hope).

The REMOTE_USER env variabla by
http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/env.html represents the
_authenticated_ user. That means, that REMOTE_USER will contain the
username that is an _authenticated_ request using. In restlet, you can
get that information like this:

String username = request.getChallengeResponse().getIdentifier();

Meaning: a HTTP Response will contain ChallengeResponse (either as
response to server's 401 or is doing a "preemptive" authentication).
Restlet will get the username for you, whatever auth is used (BASIC,
DIGEST, ...).


Hope helps,
~t~

request.getAttributes().get( "value" ) or by any other means, I'm all ears! Tamás Cservenák the header into the _incoming_ request? Isn't that coming from the response
header you send out to do the auth? (if I understood correctly).
