[java] Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: https

I'm using Java to access a HTTPS site which returns the display in an XML format. I pass the login credentials in the URL itself. Here is the code snippet:

DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
requestURL = "https://Administrator:Password@localhost:8443/abcd";

try { 
    InputStream is = null;
    URL url = new URL(requestURL);
    InputStream xmlInputStream =new URL(requestURL).openConnection().getInputStream();
    byte[] testByteArr = new byte[xmlInputStream.available()];
    xmlInputStream.read(testByteArr);
    System.out.println(new String(testByteArr));
    Document doc = db.parse(xmlInputStream);
    System.out.println("DOC="+doc);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
} 

I'm creating a trust manager in the program which does not validate signed/unsigned certificates. But, on running the above program, I get the error Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: https://Administrator:Password@localhost:8443/abcd

I can use the same url on my browser and it displays the xml correctly. Kindly let me know how to make this work within the Java program.

Try This. You need pass the authentication to let the server know its a valid user. You need to import these two packages and has to include a jersy jar. If you dont want to include jersy jar then import this package

import sun.misc.BASE64Encoder;

import com.sun.jersey.core.util.Base64;
import sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection;

and then,

String encodedAuthorizedUser = getAuthantication("username", "password");
URL url = new URL("Your Valid Jira URL");
HttpURLConnection httpCon = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
httpCon.setRequestProperty ("Authorization", "Basic " + encodedAuthorizedUser );

 public String getAuthantication(String username, String password) {
   String auth = new String(Base64.encode(username + ":" + password));
   return auth;
 }
