I am working with a proxy that requires authentication, i.e., in a browser if I try to open a page it will immediately ask for credentials. I supplied same credentials in my program but it fails with HTTP 407 error.
Here is my code:
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(URL);
IWebProxy proxy = WebRequest.GetSystemWebProxy();
CredentialCache cc = new CredentialCache();
NetworkCredential nc = new NetworkCredential();
nc.UserName = "userName";
nc.Password = "password";
nc.Domain = "mydomain";
cc.Add("http://20.154.23.100", 8888, "Basic", nc);
proxy.Credentials = cc;
//proxy.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
request.Proxy = proxy;
request.Proxy.Credentials = cc;
request.Credentials = cc;
request.PreAuthenticate = true;
I have tried every possible thing but seem like I am missing something. Is it something like, I have to make two requests? First with out credentials and once I hear back from server about need for credentials, make same request with credentials?
here is the correct way of using proxy along with creds..
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(URL);
IWebProxy proxy = request.Proxy;
if (proxy != null)
{
Console.WriteLine("Proxy: {0}", proxy.GetProxy(request.RequestUri));
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Proxy is null; no proxy will be used");
}
WebProxy myProxy = new WebProxy();
Uri newUri = new Uri("http://20.154.23.100:8888");
// Associate the newUri object to 'myProxy' object so that new myProxy settings can be set.
myProxy.Address = newUri;
// Create a NetworkCredential object and associate it with the
// Proxy property of request object.
myProxy.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("userName", "password");
request.Proxy = myProxy;
Thanks everyone for help... :)
