HttpRequestMessage Authentication and Digest

Question

Is there a built-in function for linking digest authentication with HttpRequestMessage in winrt? Or do I need to use another class to complete this task?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I am using HttpClient to post an HttpRequest. The HttpClient constructor accepts an HttpClientHandler , which accepts an instance of CredentialCache as the Credentials property. A CredentialCache should work with digest authentication.

The code should look like this:

 var credCache = new CredentialCache(); credCache.Add(new Uri("http://.com/"),"Digest", new NetworkCredential(UserName,SecurelyStoredPassword,Domain)); var httpClient = new HttpClient( new HttpClientHandler { Credentials = credCache}); var answer = httpClient.GetAsync(new Uri("http://request.Uri"));
