ASP.NET HTTP Authorization Header

Question

I would like to know why my asp.net application will not add the header to my post when it is named \'Authorization\' but will work fine when I change one character, say \"A

Answer 1

For HTTP Basic Authorization, you should be using the Credentials property.

req.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("DDSServices", "jCole2011");

This should do what you want. Rather than setting the Authorization header.
