[DUG] TIdHTTP

[Ross Levis]

I tried Basic Authentication but this made no difference.  It didn't 
work, but worse, it didn't provide a ResponseText or any response 
details at all!  It was empty.

Actually, AuthRetries defaults to 3, but I must have changed this to 0 
in the IDE a long time ago.  It's an old app which has not had to deal 
with authentication until now.

Cheers,
Ross.

Well, it's good that it's working now..

in terms of logic, indy implements what http requires. if you dont 
explicitly
specify basic auth, then there's roundtrips to the server to negotiate
authentication. how many retries depends on the auth method, eg 
integrated/ntlm/SSPI
require 3.

thats not to say the default shouldn't be changed to be more 
'friendly'.. maybe it
should be.
