Question

i want to consume a php Webservice from C# which is protected by htaccess.
i added the Service by adding a web reference in my VS 2010.

mywsfromwsdl myws = new mywsfromwsdl();

System.Net.CredentialCache myCredentials = new System.Net.CredentialCache();
NetworkCredential netCred = new NetworkCredential("user", "pass");
myCredentials.Add(new Uri(myws.Url), "Basic", netCred);
myws.Credentials = myCredentials;
myws.PreAuthenticate = true;

tbxIN.Text = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?> "+
            " <test> "+
            " <parm1>4</parm1>  "+
            " <parm1>2</parm1>  "+
            "  </test>";

tbxOUT.Text= myws.func1(tbxIN.Text.ToString());

The VS shows an error called 400 Bad REquest my last row.
If i delete the .htaccess File on the server, the pgm works fine, but i cant delete. because other PHP User use the Service.

Can anybody tell me how to send the Credentials correctly ?

According to MSDN you shouldn’t need the credential cache:

 // Set the client-side credentials using the Credentials property.
 ICredentials credentials = new NetworkCredential("Joe",SecurelyStoredPassword,"mydomain");
 math.Credentials = credentials;

Have you tried this method instead of the cache object? More info can be found here.
