[android-developers] AndroidHttpClient HttpGet with Basic Authorization

Hallo,

why I can't add a "Authorization" header field to my get request?

AndroidHttpClient client = AndroidHttpClient.newInstance(useragent);

HttpParams httpParams = new BasicHttpParams();
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParams, 15 * 1000);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParams, 15 * 1000);

HttpGet get = new HttpGet(url);
get.addHeader("Authorization", "Base64 encoded String");
get.addHeader("Accept", "application/json");
get.setParams(httpParams);

...

When I execute this request I get a "HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request" response.

When I remove the line "get.addHeader("Authorization", "Base64 encoded
String");" everything works fine (without the authorization).

What's going wrong? Is that the right way to do a basic authorization?
How to add the header field?

Ralph
