There is a possibility that in your case the htm file type is not registered in the IIS script map settings.In IIS 5.1HTTP requests of type POST, HEAD, and all others are responded to with a 405methodnot allowed error.

Hi all,

I am getting a 401 server error not opening the door for me; can someone please tell me what i need to do to gain access to a password protected directory in my domain?

Here is the code:




NetworkCredential nc = new NetworkCredential();


nc.Password = "xxxPass";


nc.UserName = "xxxUserName";


nc.Domain = "http://www.constructionsupercenter.com";


request.Credentials = nc;





-------------------------------








Here is all of the code:





private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)


{


// Create a request using a URL that can receive a post.


WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://www.constructionsupercenter.com/Visio/ConstructionSuperCenter.htm");





NetworkCredential nc = new NetworkCredential();


nc.Password = "xxxPass";


nc.UserName = "xxxUserName";


nc.Domain = "http://www.constructionsupercenter.com";


request.Credentials = nc;





// Set the Method property of the request to POST.


request.Method = "POST";


// Create POST data and convert it to a byte array.


string postData = "This is a test that posts this string to a Web server.";


byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);


// Set the ContentType property of the WebRequest.


request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";


// Set the ContentLength property of the WebRequest.


request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;


// Get the request stream.


Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream();


// Write the data to the request stream.


dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);


// Close the Stream object.


dataStream.Close();


// Get the response.


WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();


// Display the status.


Console.WriteLine(((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusDescription);


// Get the stream containing content returned by the server.


dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();


// Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.


StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);


// Read the content.


string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();


// Display the content.


Console.WriteLine(responseFromServer);


// Clean up the streams.


reader.Close();


dataStream.Close();


response.Close();


}

 

Assuming that the username and password are correct, don't specify the Domain property for the NetworkCredential object. The domain refers to the network domain and not the domain name, so it's usually not needed for basic authentication.
