http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread188864.html

but it does not working for JS popup. Is any options to programatically login in html page with form based authorization?

Answer 1

The page you’re looking at is actually not “Form Based Authorization”, nor is it a Javascript pop-up. It’s actually a window generated by your web browser for making an authenticated HTTP request. You can verify this, if you wish, by using a tool like Fiddler to examine the HTTP headers that are generated when you send a request to zoneedit.com/auth.

Basically what you need to do is: (translated from VB in the 4guys article)

var req = new WebClient();

var URL = "www.zoneedit.com/auth";
var Username = "username_goes_here";
var Password = "pasword_goes_here";

var credentialCache = new CredentialCache();
credentialCache.Add(new Uri(URL), "Basic", new NetworkCredential(Username, Password));

req.Credentials = credentialCache;

var results = System.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(req.DownloadData(URL));
