Help with http 401 code ?

Question

[Add] I forgot to mark this as question [Add]
I wrote a smalll program that send the xml to soap webservice on the server
If I use the browser to type the link on(http://myserver/myservices/RequestWS) , it pops up a window authenfication box. I type user name and password in and it works (logged in, see the message from the server)
However, if I run the java code below, the error is thorwn when I write to the outputStream.
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String SOAPUrl = args[0];
String xml = args[1];
URL url = new URL(SOAPUrl);
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
HttpURLConnection httpConn = (HttpURLConnection) connection;
byte[] b = xml.getBytes();
// Set the appropriate HTTP parameters.
httpConn.setRequestProperty( "Content-Length",String.valueOf( b.length ) );
httpConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","text/xml; charset=utf-8");
httpConn.setRequestMethod( "POST" );
httpConn.setDoOutput(true);
httpConn.setDoInput(true);
httpConn.setAllowUserInteraction(true);
httpConn.setDefaultUseCaches(false);
httpConn.setUseCaches(false);
OutputStream out = httpConn.getOutputStream();
System.out.println("httpConn.getResponseCode():"+httpConn.getResponseCode());
out.write( b );
out.close();
}The console is:
httpConn.getResponseCode():401

Thank for quick help. My mistake is the colon after "Authorization
I removed it and I get another error now from 401, now I am getting 500 :D
{code}String creds = "ADMIN:password";
String encodeCreds = Base64.encode(creds.getBytes());
httpConn.setRequestProperty("Authorization:", "Basic "+encodeCreds); {code}
