Preemptive HTTP Authorization does not work as expected

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. start REST client and fill in 'URL'
2. select 'Auth' tab, select 'BASIC' with 'Preemptive' and fill in
'Username' and 'Password'
3. submit the request, HTTP Authorization header won't be appended to
request headers even if its preemptive (did work in 2.1)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected the 2.1 behaviour, allways sending the Authorization header in
preemptive mode ...

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
RESTClient 2.2 on Linux Java 1.6.0_07-b06

Please provide any additional information below.
