HttpWebRequest and HTTPS

[Q. John Chen]

Group,

I did the following using XMLHTTP (VB6 client)
o.XmlHttp.Open "POST", _
"https://wwww.mycompany.com/getinfo.ashx", _
False, "user.id", "password"

Now I am trying to do the same in .NET/C# with HttpWebRequest but I
don't how to set the authentication. I see mention of Authentication
Header but can't find the details.

Thanks

John

Use the HttpWebRequest.Credentials property. Assign it something like "new
NetworkCrentials("brock", "mypassword")", or is you want the current user's
credentials use CredentialsCache.DefaultCredentials.

Set the Credentials property on the webrequest.
