try to use HttpClient

private void setCredentials(String login, String password) {
    if (login != null && password != null)
        httpClient.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(
                new AuthScope(URL_HOST, 80), new UsernamePasswordCredentials(login, password));

}



private InputStream execute(String url, String login, String password) {
        setCredentials(login, password);
        HttpGet get = new HttpGet(url);
        try {
            HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(get);
            int code = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
            if (code == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
                InputStream stream = response.getEntity().getContent();
                return stream;
            } else {
                Log.e("TAG", "Wrong response code " + code + " for request " + get.getRequestLine().toString());
                return null;
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }
