URL does not point to a valid Hudson installation error message

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make sure Hudson 1.309 is running (http://localhost:8087/ displays the 
dashboard)
2. Install Eclipse Hudson plugin 1.0.7
3. Make sure your proxy configuration is correct
3. Go to preferences page and enter any of the following base URLs: 
    * http://localhost:8087
    * http://localhost:8087/
    * http://localhost:8087/hudson
    * http://localhost:8087/hudson/
4. No matter whether you use authentication or not, you get the following 
error: 
    "URL does not point to a valid Hudson installation. /api/xml does not 
return correct data."

Using internet explorer, above URLs return 404 error.

Is any kind of authentication enabled? And do you get a correct result when 
opening
http://localhost:8087/api/xml in a browser?

yes, authentication is enabled and I´ve tried the plugin with and without 
entering 
authentication information.

http://localhost:8087/api/xml returns a valid XML with information about the 
projects.

Just in case, I am using standalone hudson.war distribution.

Could you specify what type of authentication you're using?

I experience the same issue when using basic http authentication.

Support for basic auth has been added in issue #40 - please reopen if the 
problem
persists.
