I want to make a web request to a page that needs authenticating. How would I go about doing this? I found something that said possibly to use the Credentials property, but I'm not sure how to use it.

HTTP basic authentication is a simple challenge and response mechanism with which a server can request authentication information (a user ID and password) from a client. The client passes the authentication information to the server in an Authorization header. The authentication information is in base-64 encoding.
It is indeed not possible to pass the username and password via query parameters in standard HTTP auth. Instead, you use a special URL format, like this: http://username:[email protected]/ -- this sends the credentials in the standard HTTP "Authorization" header.
HTTP Basic authentication is a simple authentication method for the client to provide a username and a password when making a request. This is the simplest possible way to enforce access control as it doesn't require cookies, sessions or anything else.
Assign a new NetworkCredential instance to the Credentials property:
webClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("Mehrdad", "Password"); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
