I'm trying to pass credentials back to a web service using HttpClient. However, I keep getting an Unauthorized request. However, when I try using a WebRequest it authenticates?
HttpClient:
var handler = new NativeMessageHandler
{
UseDefaultCredentials = true,
Credentials = credential
};
var client = new HttpClient(handler);
var content = _httpClientHelper.Serialize(data);
var response = await _client.PostAsync($"{_baseurl}/api/foos/List", content);
WebRequest:
HttpResponseMessage response = null;
try
{
var data = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new
{
ViewTitle = "New",
PageCount = 60
});
var content = _httpClientHelper.Serialize(data);
using (var client = new WebClient { UseDefaultCredentials = true, Credentials = credentials })
{
client.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.ContentType, "application/json; charset=utf-8");
client.UploadData("$"{baseurl}/api/foos/List", "POST", Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(content));
}
I cannot figure out why one works and the other does not. Any help or insight on this would be greatly appreciated
