Test Credentials to access a web page

Is there a nice and tested piece of code out there that I can use for this purpose:

get the user/pass and the address of a web service (asmx page) and check if the user/pass are valid or not.

I think I should use HTTPRequest,etc to do that but I do not have a good knowledge on that topic , causing my current method to not working properly.

If there is a good piece of code for this purpose I appreciate for pointing me to that.

Thanks

P.S: I am not using DefaultCredentials in my code. Since I want them to enter user/pass so now I need to be able to TEST their user/pass and show proper message to them if their credentials is not valid.

Solution

  • You can use the HttpWebRequest.Credentials Property (depends on the web service authentication) and the CredentialCache Class.

    Also some code examples (from google):
    Retrieving HTTP content in .NET
    Combine Invoking Web Service dynamically using HttpWebRequest with .Credentials.
