Basic Authentication ... solution seems a mystery?

[Pete]

I'm cross posting from mscom.webservic es.general as I have received no answer
there:

There has been a number of recent posts requesting how to satisfactorily
enable BASIC authorization at the HTTP level but as yet no fully useful
answer.

I too have been trying to call an apache/axis webservice which desires a
username/password from my C# Client. (ie the equivalent of
_call.setUserna me("Myname") name from within a Java client proxy) Try as I
may I cannot get the AUTHORIZATION attribute to be included in the http
header. Some mention has been made of directly inserting the attribute into
the header ... but how does one get hold of the request object to do this?
Using the Credentials object method does not work for me.

Any clues ..?

[Jared]

I think you just have to create a class that inherits from SoapHeader, then
include the <SoapHeader() > attribute to the method that will use it. I hope
I understood your question correctly.

Thanks Jared,
However I'm looking for authentication at the http level not at the soap
level.
The SOAP/AXIS server I'm looking to connect my client desires basic
authentication
within the http header.
ie looking to see how to set the AUTHENTICATION attribute within the http
header.

Sorry about that.
Try looking into the System.Net.WebH eaderCollection object or the
System.Net namespace in general. The webclient may have the functionality
you are looking for.

Thanks ... however I am aware of this, but the Credentials technique
(discussed int the link you kindly prvided) passes the credentails at the
SOAP Header level not the HTTP header level which in my case is desired for
the APache/AXIS server.
In the meantime I am looking at the info that Jared supplied.
PS I'm not using a web client, rather a windows forms client.

I was referring to the System.Net.WebC lient. You can send a post message to
a client with this class, I believe you can modify the headers, it's been a
while since i've used it.

Thanks Jared, however I'm not using a web client, I'm using Windows Forms
client(and I've tried a console client to keep things simple with the same
results). I have only have the web reference. So I think I need to be able
somehow to get the web request object and from there access the Http Request
object and from there be able to set the contents of the http header ???
Anyone any clues or examples on how to do this? It's the same problem as my
orginal question however I'm not getting any closer it seems.

When I use a Java client, it's really easy to set the http AUTHORIZATION
attributes. Not so apparently in .Net. This is so basic I'll bet the answer
is really easy but it has me stumped :)

Pete,
I'm not talking about a browser or a web page, I too am talking about a
..NET WinForms application. Take the following code snippit for example:

Sub PostAMessage()
Dim Site As String = "http://www.yoursite.co m"
Dim Web As New System.Net.WebC lient
Web.Headers.Add ("AUTHORIZATION ", "SOMEVALUE" )
Dim Stream As System.IO.Strea m
Stream = Web.OpenRead(Si te)
Dim Reader As New System.IO.Strea mReader(Stream)
Dim Output As String = Reader.ReadToEn d()
Stream.Flush()
Stream.Close()
Reader.Close()
End Sub

This code is declared and used inside a windows application. The name of the
object I have been referring to is WebClient. You may want to see if it can
handle what you are trying to do.

Pete,
I have exhausted my knowledge of webservices, my experience with them is
solely from the Microsoft platforms, where I can use my trusty soap headers
and ICredentials. It seems as though everyone else has shied away from this
post, I would try to find a group on Apache or try to post in the
microsoft.publi c.framework.asp net.webservices groups. Best of luck and when
you find your answer post it so others can benefit.

Thanks Jared. You have excellently and precisely laid out the
functionality
of what I'm looking for except that I need it in the context of a "Web
Reference" that I have rather than a newly declared web client (which I
think
means I miss out on the ease of use of a web reference I presume). i.e I
need
to be able to "wind" backwards to the http context from the web reference
which seems to be protocol agnostic (which makes sense as protocols other
than http could potentially be used for the soap message). So I suppose a
better way to phrase the question is "How may I obtain the http context
from
a web reference?"
I could, I suppose construct the web service call "by hand" ignoring the
ease of use of Visual Studio inserting a web reference for me. But this
seems
such a pity as it would mean considerably more work (I think).

Still, I'll look further into what you have suggested ...:)

Thanks again.
