How to use credentials in HttpClient in c#?

问题

I am facing some problems when using the HttpClient class to access to a Delicious API. I have the following code:

try
{
    const string uriSources = "https://api.del.icio.us/v1/tags/bundles/all?private={myKey}";
    using (var handler = new HttpClientHandler { Credentials = new  
                             NetworkCredential("MyUSER", "MyPASS") })
    {
         using (var client = new HttpClient(handler))
         {
             var result = await client.GetStringAsync(uriSources);
         }
   }
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "ERROR...", MessageBoxButton.OK);
}

When running the code above I am getting the following: Response status code does not indicate success: 401 (Unauthorized).

So, how could I get this work? Is it possible?

Thanks in advance

Regards!

I had the exact same problem myself. It seems the HttpClient just disregards the credentials set in the HttpClientHandler.

The following shall work however:

using System.Net.Http.Headers; // For AuthenticationHeaderValue

const string uri = "https://example.com/path?params=1";
using (var client = new HttpClient()) {
    var byteArray = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("MyUSER:MyPASS");
    var header = new AuthenticationHeaderValue(
               "Basic", Convert.ToBase64String(byteArray));
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = header;

    var result = await client.GetStringAsync(uri);
}

No need for the handler.

This is an old post but thought to add my reply for someone facing similar issue and browsing answers...

I faced similar issue. In my case, setting Domain property for NetworkCredentials worked. You can try setting Domain.

The code you are showing works for me against an authenticated resource. I suspect Delicious is doing something weird.

Considering you are on Windows Phone, it is a pain to debug with Fiddler, so what I suggest is getting a Runscope account. Install this message handler which will redirect your request via the RunScope debugger. Once you do this, I suggest you look at the www-authenticate header and examine what that is returning.

If all else fails you can always set the Authentication header directly with basic auth credentials. You don't need to use the Credentials class.
