According to the file you attached, the first 401 failure is one without a "Prefer" header: ++++++REQUEST:++++++++ ===headers===: {'Correlation-Id': 301, 'Cookie': 'JSESSIONID=p++cHE+igVhUiFHlrzlYiq1N; Path=/api; Secure', 'Accept': 'application/xml'} The behavior in such a case should be the request succeeding, but the next request should fail (because not passing the Prefer header here is like saying you would like to close this session). However, a recent change to fix bug 876641, caused it to fail. So, this bug shouldn't block your tests... just make sure you pass the Prefer header on each and every request. I'm changing the title of the bug to: "After creating a REST session, request without the Prefer header return 401". Elena, There is no issue with the persistent-auth (see Oved's comment 3), only issue we saw is that omit of prefer header doesn't disable the session based auth. as it should (therefore i'm lowering bug severity). Verified in sf10 This bug is currently attached to errata RHEA-2013:14491.

Created attachment 703883 [details] requests/responses data including headers When using header 'Prefer': 'persistent-auth' and not passing 'Authorization' header the REST API connection fails on authentication error after some time. Attached the requests/responses data from our basic test scenario. The Authorization header is sent at first request and all further requests use 'Prefer': 'persistent-auth', 'Cookie': 'JSESSIONID=...' headers only. Look for 'status': 401' string to see the first failure.
