Authorisation issue while accessing a page from repository in CQ5. - httpurlconnection

Question

I'm trying to hit a page which contains a xml structure. for that i'm using this code
#Reference
private SlingRepository repository;
adminSession = repository.loginAdministrative( repository.getDefaultWorkspace());
String pageUrl = "http://localhost:4504"+page+".abc.htm";
conn = (HttpURLConnection)new URL(pageUrl).openConnection();
conn.setRequestProperty("Accept-Charset", charset);
conn.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401"); // Do as if you'rusing Firefox 3.6.3
urlResponse = new BufferedInputStream(conn.getInputStream());
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader(urlResponse) );
While accesing the page i'm getting this issue
org.apache.sling.auth.core.impl.SlingAuthenticator getAnonymousResolver: `Anonymous access not allowed by configuration - requesting credentials`
I'm logged in as an admin and whenever i'm directly hitting this urlfrom browser it is working properly bt while accessing it thriugh my code i'm getting this error.
any suggestion ?

If you are trying to call an url on an author instance, the following method I use in one of my projects might help (using apache commons HttpClient):
private InputStream getContent(final String url)
HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
httpClient.getParams().setAuthenticationPreemptive(true);
httpClient.getState().setCredentials(new AuthScope(null, -1, null),
new UsernamePasswordCredentials("admin", "admin"));
try {
GetMethod get = new GetMethod(url);
httpClient.executeMethod(get);
if (get.getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
return get.getResponseBodyAsStream();
} else {
LOGGER.error("HTTP Error: ", get.getStatusCode());
}
} catch (HttpException e) {
LOGGER.error("HttpException: ", e);
} catch (IOException e) {
LOGGER.error("IOException: ", e);
}
}
Though at it is using admin:admin it only works on a local dev instance, if you are on a productive environment, I wouldn't put the admin password in plaintext, even though it is onyl code...

You are mixing up sling credentials & http credentials. While you are logged in at the sling-repository the http session is not aware of any authentication informations!
