    Description

      The implementation of the authentication cache has changed in HttpClient v4.4.1 by using object serialization and de-serialization to store and retrieve the authentication schemes for a given host instead of using object references as was done in v4.3.3.

      When using basic authentication for a proxy this mechanism does not work reliably, causing subsequent requests to use the wrong authentication header (Authorization vs Proxy-Authorization).
