Upload Web Script Authentication trouble

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

I have trouble using the new upload web script in E2.1. When I use the script from my browser with a traditional form everything works as expected. However, when I try to post a file from a java client based on Jakarta Commons HttpClient I experience some strange behaviour. My request is first authenticated, but then I get a net.sf.acegisecurity.AuthenticationCredentialsNotFoundException

The uploaded file gets to Tomcat’s temp folder, but never reaches the repository.

Here is the response received by the client:

I thought I was experiencing this issue:
AR-1765 WebScripts clear authentication before commiting transaction

However, this issue is marked as fixed and I run a very recent build.
