How Do I Get By The Basic Authentication Handshake When Using Fiddler To Test A WCF REST Service?

Answer 1

You need to base64 encode your username:password and then prefix it with Basic. It will end up looking something like:

Authorization: Basic VEFWSVNcZGFycmVsOg==

You then enter this in the request headers field.
