gwt-syncproxy fails when the server has BASIC AUTHENTICATION

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I have a GWT backend server and use BAISC AUTHENTICATION
2. I use gwt-syncproxy  in an android client
3. gwt-syncproxy fails to get the *.nocache.js as it does not pass the security 
credentials

How do I make gwt-syncproxy pass the security credentials to the server.

As follow-up to this issue, please see this post: 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-web-toolkit/hK49qRH5juY. With 
that in mind, if this feature is still needed, I will look into implemented the 
described process to make it available, although not recommended. Please verify 
the continuning need for providing AUTH credentials.

I don't think the setRpcRequestBuilder method works:

- when I call SyncProxy.newProxyInstance (before I can replace the 
RpcRequestBuilder), SyncProxy already tries (and fails) to fetch the policy file

java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: 
http://localhost:11080/Console/Console.nocache.js
    at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream0(HttpURLConnection.java:1838)
    at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(HttpURLConnection.java:1439)
    at com.gdevelop.gwt.syncrpc.RpcPolicyFinder.getResposeText(RpcPolicyFinder.java:123)
    at com.gdevelop.gwt.syncrpc.RpcPolicyFinder.fetchSerializationPolicyName(RpcPolicyFinder.java:71)
    at com.gdevelop.gwt.syncrpc.SyncProxy.newProxyInstance(SyncProxy.java:236)

- after getting an instance of my service, how can I set a new 
RpcRequestBuilder??

((ServiceDefTarget) consoleService).setRpcRequestBuilder(newRequestBuilder) 

=> java.lang.ClassCastException: com.sun.proxy.$Proxy3 cannot be cast to 
com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.ServiceDefTarget

@boris You are correct, SyncProxy was initially not designed to handle the 
features of the ServiceDefTarget interface, specifically that of setting a 
custom Request or RequestBuilder. As of version 0.5 (to be released in a few 
days), I have added support for the ServiceDefTarget interface, but I have not 
yet had time to support the specific features of Request or RequestBuilder. I 
plan on adding that support in 0.6, but it will be a few months before I can 
spare time for this project again for that level of development. If you can, 
please provide some additional context in your usage of a custom 
RequestBuilder...Also please note that if it is the context of Basic 
Authentication, this is not recommended as per the link in comment 3. Please 
check back this weekend to review the release notes for the 0.5 release as 
there are some significant changes to make it more compatible with current and 
upcoming versions of GWT.
