Returns authentication parameter with the given name, if available.
Params:

Returns authentication realm. The realm may not be null.
Returns:the authentication realm
/** * Returns authentication realm. The realm may not be null. * * @return the authentication realm */
public String getRealm() { return getParameter("realm"); }
Returns a String identifying the authentication challenge. This is used, in combination with the host and port to determine if authorization has already been attempted or not. Schemes which require multiple requests to complete the authentication should return a different value for each stage in the request.

Additionally, the ID should take into account any changes to the authentication challenge and return a different value when appropriate. For example when the realm changes in basic authentication it should be considered a different authentication attempt and a different value should be returned.

This method simply returns the realm for the challenge.

Returns:String a String identifying the authentication challenge. The returned value may be null.
Deprecated:no longer used
