Interface Authenticator

public interface Authenticator

Responds to an authentication challenge from either a remote web server or a proxy server. Implementations may either attempt to satisfy the challenge by returning a request that includes an authorization header, or they may refuse the challenge by returning null. In this case the unauthenticated response will be returned to the caller that triggered it.

When authentication is requested by an origin server, the response code is 401 and the implementation should respond with a new request that sets the "Authorization" header.

   String credential = Credentials.basic(...)
    return response.request().newBuilder()
        .header("Authorization", credential)
        .build();
 

Whn authentication is requested by a proxy server, the response code is 407 and the implementation should respond with a new request that sets the "Proxy-Authorization" header.

   String credential = Credentials.basic(...)
    return response.request().newBuilder()
        .header("Proxy-Authorization", credential)
        .build();
 

Applications may configure OkHttp with an authenticator for origin servers, or proxy servers, or both.
