Hi All,
Can anyone tell me the difference?
Scenario:
I have an aspx page on my computer that runs IIS. It uses SSL and MS
Basic Authentication scheme for authentication/authorization.
Below are two ways my webclient is written (using httpwebrequest):
1) .....
HttpWebRequest httpRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create
(m_uri);
string cred = String.Format("{0}:{1}", "username", "password");
byte [] bytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(cred);
string base64 = Convert.ToBase64String(bytes);
httpRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + base64);
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)httpRequest.GetResponse
();
2).....
HttpWebRequest httpRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create
(m_uri);
NetworkCredential cred=new NetworkCredential("username","password");
httpRequest.Credentials = cred;
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)httpRequest.GetResponse
();
Firstly, solution (2) works while solution (1) doesnt. I get
an "Unauthorized" error with solution (1). Aren't they the same? I'm
assuming the "Network Credentials" class in solution (2) hides all
the nitty-gritty details of solution (1). Am i right?
