HttpsURLConnection Authenticator Error

Question

I'm in trouble with Authenticator Android Method.

This method works and return 200 Code (HTTP_OK):

Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator() {
                protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
                    return new PasswordAuthentication("admin", "1234".toCharArray());
                }
            });

but to become dinamically i sent the user values:

urlConnection = new URL(params[0]);
user = params[1];
pass = params[2];

changed the authentication to:

return new PasswordAuthentication(user, pass.toCharArray())

made a test: user/pass: "test".

I want to receive a 401 Code (HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED)

when i debug and click f7/f8 sometimes i can see the 401 in response code, but i can't return it, because it seems that he enter in a loop inside:

httpUrlConnection.getResponseCode();

Here is a fragment of my code:

.....    

    httpUrlConnection.setConnectTimeout(2000);
    httpUrlConnection.connect();
    statusCode = httpUrlConnection.getResponseCode(); //debug stop here
    httpUrlConnection.disconnect(); 
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
return statusCode;

Any tips?

The problem was in the Server.

The authentication method it was "Basic".

Changed it to "Digest" the server tries only authenticate one time, not recursively until can log in.

Edit:

But pay attention, because

HttpUrlConnection does not support digest as pointed here
