You are doing the right thing, but need to change the order - move the Password and username settings above the wlHttp.Post command.

Add before calling the post command

//StartAuthentication
wlHttp.OverrideAuthorizationHeader = true;
wlHttp.Header["Authorization"] = "Basic XXXXXX";
//EndAuthentication

This will work too but you'll need to manually generate the authorization data (user name : password as Base64), normally you would only use that option for custom authentication, like 'Bearer' authentication. For basic authentication specifying username/password is simpler. – yshalbar Jan 27 '21 at 22:41
