basic-authentication

We are using web service with basic authentication. It all worked all fine, till owners of web service implemented balancing service. Which is simply redirects requests to different instances of web service. The problem is that after being redirected basic authentication fails. There is "request authentication credentials was not passed" exception. Additional info: We have to create request manually. var req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.CreateDefault(new Uri(Settings.Default.HpsmServiceAddress)); req.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic aaaaaaaaaaa"); req.PreAuthenticate = true; req

I am trying to read the source from a page that requires basic authentication. However, using a Header and even Credentials in my HttpWebRequest, I still get a Unauthorized Exception [401] returned. string urlAddress = URL; string UserName = "MyUser"; string Password = "MyPassword"; HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(urlAddress); if (UserName != string.Empty) { string encoded = System.Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-1").GetBytes(UserName + ":" + Password)); request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + encoded); System.Net

When searching for that, I found this answer to another question: https://serverfault.com/questions

I managed to successfully invoke a URL behind a directory in Apache that is protected with Basic Authentication (htpasswd, etc.). The Ajax GET request works normally and returns the protected content: var encoded = Base64.encode(username + ':' + password); $.ajax({ url: "/app/test", type: "GET", beforeSend: function(xhr) { xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Basic ' + encoded); }, success: function() { window.location.href = '/app/test.html'; } }); My original assumption was that once the web session had successfully authorized a request, it would make possible the redirection in the
