  Feb 17, 2012 07:54 AM|LINK

  Hi,

  I am using httpwebrequest response to ping a site.That site is a secure site but when i ping i don get anauthentication error.I donot pass the password o r id still am able to check the status of site.

  I want the user to see a "authentication required or credentials required " msg when the site is being pinged.

  How can i do this

  ?

  when i lookout for Authenticationlevel, i get MutualAuthentication value.

  try HttpStatusCode from the Request response like below:

  HttpWebResponse resp = (HttpWebResponse)rqst.GetResponse();
  HttpStatusCode respStatusCode = resp.StatusCode;

  But the statuscode gives only the status of response..I mean the status like - server unavailable,OK,etc

  I get an OK response.

  How about showing your Lines of Code here so I can analyze the issue.

  Hi,

  This is code snippet that i use-
                

  public void HttpReq()
  {
    HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(URL);
   myHttpWebRequest.Method = "GET";
   myHttpWebRequest.AllowAutoRedirect = true;
   myHttpWebRequest.KeepAlive = false;
   HttpWebResponse myHttpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse)myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse();
  Stream streamResponse = myHttpWebResponse.GetResponseStream();
  Console.WriteLine("Server has response : " + myHttpWebRequest.HaveResponse);
  Console.WriteLine("The Status Code is : " + myHttpWebResponse.StatusCode);
  
  }
