Re: [android-developers] AndroidHttpClient HttpGet with Basic Authorization

You need to add "Basic" in front of the "Authorization" parameter (if
you are using basic auth.). The base64 encoded string also needs both
username and password.

This is from a working example:

method.addHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + Base64.encodeBytes(new
String(this.username + ":" + this.password).getBytes()));

The Base64.encodeBytes helper method is found here: http://iharder.net/base64
