[jdom-interest] 401 unauthorized, SaxBuilder

[Per Norrman]

Hi,

This is really off-topic, but ...

you 'simply' need to programmatically employ the
same protocol as the browser does when it receives
the HTTP 401 response. You can read about the protocols
here:

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt

And for sure, jakarta HttpClient has some code already
written for you:

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/
