Question

Is there any built-in function to associate a digest authentication with an HttpRequestMessage in winrt ? Or do I have to use an other class in order to perfom this task ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I’m using the HttpClient for an HttpRequest Message. The HttpClient constructor accepts a HttpClientHandler, which accepts as Credentials property an instance of CredentialCache. A CredentialCache should be able to work with digest authentication.

Code should be like:

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"));
