URIBuilder

[sdlangers]

Hi,

 

Im trying to set the username and password for a URI using the URIBuilder class.

 

Im using the following code (except with real values for site, user, pword) :

 

       Dim i As New UriBuilder()
       i.Scheme = "http"
       i.Host = "www.site.com"
       i.UserName = "user"
       i.Password = "pword"

       Dim myRequest As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create(i.Uri)

      Dim myResponse As WebResponse = myRequest.GetResponse()

 

However, an unathorized error occurs at the myResponse line.

 

When i debug, it appears that the username and password is not set.

 

can anyone help?

 

thanks,

danny.

Dim oWebRequest As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create("http://www.google.com/")
Dim oNetworkCredential As NetworkCredential = New NetworkCredential("user", "password")

oWebRequest.PreAuthenticate = True
oWebRequest.Credentials = oNetworkCredential

Dim oWebResponse As WebResponse = oWebRequest.GetResponse()

Hi all,

 

Derek, that looks like a nice workaround.

 

BTW.. i had posted the original problem way back on a microsoft board and they got back saying that it was a bug and that they'd put in a request to fix it.
