RestSharp HttpBasicAuthentication - example

Question

I have a WPF client using RestSharp and WEB API Service. I try to use HttpBasicAuthenticator as follows:

RestRequest login = new RestRequest(\"/         


        

Answer 1

From RestSharp documentation:

var client = new RestClient("http://example.com");
client.Authenticator = new SimpleAuthenticator("username", "foo", "password", "bar");

var request = new RestRequest("resource", Method.GET);
client.Execute(request);

The URL generated for this request would be http://example.com/resource?username=foo&password=bar

So you get the password just as any other parameter (although, it's recommended to use POST method then GET, for security reasons).

As for the cookies, check this out: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.application.setcookie.aspx

Hope it helps
