title: wsimport Xauthfile error
body: <p>I am trying to generate the java help classes that I need for a client (a.k.a consumer) for a SSL-protected web service (on Microsoft Biztalk) that is external to our company network. We can access it only over a proxy and we cannot change anything about the Webservice itself.</p>
  
  <p>This is my command provided to the wsimport tool:</p>
  
  <pre><code>wsimport -keep -httpproxy:theProxy.net:8080 -s c:\generatedWebService_wsImport\ -p the.java.package.I.want.to.call.it -Xauthfile c:\generatedWebService_wsImport\auth https://meldeservice-test.oekb.at/Meldeservice/WebService_at_oekb_biztalk_MeldeService.asmx?WSDL
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and <em>this is the content of my auth file</em>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>https://user:pwd@meldeservice-test.oekb.at:8080/Meldeservice/WebService_at_oekb_biztalk_MeldeService.asmx?WSDL
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And <strong>this is the error I get</strong>:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>[ERROR] Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: https:
    //meldeservice-test.oekb.at/Meldeservice/WebService_at_oekb_biztalk_MeldeService.asmx?WSDL,
    "https:
    //meldeservice-test.oekb.at/Meldeservice/WebService_at_oekb_biztalk_MeldeService.asmx?WSDL"
    needs authorization, please provide authorization file with read
    access at C:\Documents and Settings\s6424.metro\auth or use
    -Xauthfile to give the authorization file and on each line provide authorization information using this format :
    http[s]://user:password@host:port//</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Of course the proxy and credentials are different as in this post. The password contains a special character ! (exclamation mark).</p>
  
  <p>Can someone help me with a working example under similar conditions. I had already searched a lot but couldn't find anything that would have helped me.</p>
  
  <p>Is there somewhere a downloadable source code of the wsimport tool? This would be as the last resort to use.</p>
