at my wit's end: http auth
-
del.icio.us links uses http auth. I send a link such as: http://username:password@del.icio.us/api/posts/add?&url=http://www.engadget.com/&description=engadget&extended=engadget&tags=blog&dt=3/10/2005 12:34:49 AM with my username and password, and I get the little xml snippet via html <result code='done'> If I try to grab this result code with
string lcUrl="http://username:password@del.icio.us/api/posts/add?&url=http://www.engadget.com/&description=engadget&extended=engadget&tags=blog&dt=3/10/2005 12:34:49 AM" // *** Establish the request HttpWebRequest loHttp = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(lcUrl); // *** Set properties loHttp.Timeout = 10000; // 10 secs loHttp.UserAgent = "code I borrowed trying to do this dang-it!"; // *** Retrieve request info headers HttpWebResponse loWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse) loHttp.GetResponse(); Encoding enc = Encoding.GetEncoding(1252); // Windows default Code Page StreamReader loResponseStream = new StreamReader(loWebResponse.GetResponseStream(),enc); string lcHtml = loResponseStream.ReadToEnd(); loWebResponse.Close(); loResponseStream.Close();I get the 401 error. I am trying to stream out the result code so I can store it in a string variable. Any guidance is appreciated.
