I have a ASP.NET WebSite running on IIS6 on Windows 2003.
I'd like to have the Default.aspx page be able to web scrape a page
from the same site "data.ashx".
I'd like to keep everything NT Authentication.

Nothing I try seems to work. I always get a 401 authorization error.
Here is what I have tried.
1) WebClient
2) WebClient + new Credentials
3) WebClient + Impersonation in web.config
4) Application Pool with Network Identity - and then I get Service
Unavailable on my site.

Help!

What is the correct way to do this? Either a WebClient call or a Soap
call to the same server or remote with NT Authentication. I can't
seem to figure out why I get the 401 error and no idea how to
troubleshoot or solve.

Thanks,

I have not attempted anything like this with an ashx. I have used asmx files
in the same project (as an experiment, as I see no reason to involve the
HTTP stack for something that is local (If I needed both in the same
project, the ASMX would be used remote and the class files locally).

WIth your project, I assume the ASHX has a purpose for external clients. If
not, I would not keep it as your data access method. Even if so, I would
refactor the actual data access methods to a class rather than leave in the
ASHX and call this class directly for local access of the data. It makes it
easier to unit test, as well.

It has an external purpose only.
I was experimenting with some REST (ROA) concepts.

I do the same when doing asmx.... I just use the class when working
locally.

Ran into same kind of issue again today on Windows 2003 ...Two sub-
sites - one an application / the other a web service
Both virtual directories - set as applications with anonymous client
access.
When the App calls the Web Service I get a 401 error. Arghhh!!!
I thought it was anonymous authentication? Can someone else try this
out and tell me I'm not crazy?
I was using a WCF-based .svc service here.

Thanks,
