HttpsURLConnection Authenticator Error

I'm in trouble with Authenticator Android Method.

This method works and return 200 Code (HTTP_OK):

HTTP_OK

Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator() {
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication("admin", "1234".toCharArray());
}
});


but to become dinamically i sent the user values:

urlConnection = new URL(params[0]);
user = params[1];
pass = params[2];


changed the authentication to:

return new PasswordAuthentication(user, pass.toCharArray())


made a test:
user/pass: "test".

I want to receive a 401 Code (HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED)

HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED

when i debug and click f7/f8 sometimes i can see the 401 in response code, but i can't return it, because it seems that he enter in a loop inside:

httpUrlConnection.getResponseCode();


Here is a fragment of my code:

.....

httpUrlConnection.setConnectTimeout(2000);
httpUrlConnection.connect();
statusCode = httpUrlConnection.getResponseCode(); //debug stop here
httpUrlConnection.disconnect();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return statusCode;


Any tips?

The problem was in the Server.

The authentication method it was "Basic".

Basic

Changed it to "Digest" the server tries only authenticate one time, not recursively until can log in.

Digest

Edit:

But pay attention, because

HttpUrlConnection does not support digest as pointed here

HttpUrlConnection
