  Displaying External Content In MVC

  Mar 04, 2019 11:37 AM|samirkarim|LINK

  In this example i have 401 not authorized error in GetResponse() method.

  The URL has an authentication required popup, and i want to access to the webpage directly.

  public ActionResult Contact()
          {
              var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("URL") ;
              request.Method = "GET";
              var cred = new NetworkCredential("User", "Password","Domain");
              var cache = new CredentialCache();
              cache.Add(new Uri("URL"), "Basic", cred);
              request.Credentials = cache;
              var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
              return Redirect(response.ResponseUri.ToString());
          }

  ?????

  You should check the response header www-authenticate to see if basic is supported. If so then the user name or password is wrong.

  The API method needs you to provide your Username and Password for accessing it.

  ---

  You have to find out how to send the credentials to the API i.e. either in through JSON, or through form or through http header.

  Once you find out this then you can send the credentials to the API when making the API call.

  Consuming ASP.NET Web API is the perfect article which you should reference here.
