I am sending Https request with username and password through 2 ways but in both the cases I am getting Error 401- Unauthorized error

  1. direct connection through URLConnection

    try {
    URL url = new URL("https://xxx.xxxxx.com/v1/limit/5");
    URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();
    HttpsURLConnection connection = null;
    if(urlConnection instanceof HttpsURLConnection) {
        String authStr = "username"+":"+"password";
        byte[] bytesEncoded = Base64.encodeBase64(authStr.getBytes());
        String authEncoded = new String(bytesEncoded);
        connection = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        connection.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic "+authEncoded);
     } else {
         System.out.println("Please enter an HTTPs URL.");
         return;
     }

     BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
     String urlString = "";
     String current;
     while((current = in.readLine()) != null) {
         urlString += current;
     }
     System.out.println(urlString);
} catch(IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

  2. Connection through Jersey Client but in the same way I am getting 401-unauth error

  • Since it's not working in any of those cases: Is it possible, that you in fact are unauthorized or not using the correct authentication mechanism? – Oli Mar 21 '16 at 13:17
  • I check the same credential for Postman rest client and the API worked fine. I am not sure if I missed something – Saurabh Mar 22 '16 at 07:58
  • If you're using Postman you could use its "Generate Code" feature. It should be easy to find any missing headers (Accept, Content-Type) or differences in the URL. – Oli Mar 22 '16 at 08:28
