[mb-devel] Using the Webservice Digest Authentication

[Paul Taylor]

Thanks Matthias

It was a data problem, the actual problem was that:
 postMethod.addParameter("puid", "4d8cad37-054d-4421-855e-60f111cf574a 
B2660da86-081f-eca6-12c7-739b37228326");

should have been

 postMethod.addParameter("puid", "4d8cad37-054d-4421-855e-60f111cf574a 
2660da86-081f-eca6-12c7-739b37228326");

this mistake occurred because when I converted a url-encoded space back 
to normal. BTW the Invalid ClientId (which was another mistake when I 
converted from real programId to a test programId) doesnt actually
cause a problem, I didnt look at these close enough Because I assumed 
there was something wrong with the user/password bit.

I have one other question: Is there any limit on how may puid should be 
passed in a single post ?

thanks Paul
