Re: Credientials to an HTTP POST request.

Thus wrote Kevin,

Thank you again. I am starting to understand.

Adding the credentials to the HttpWebRequest does not seem to alter
the flow on the server side. The credentails are ignored and the
request succeeds. I guess my real question is, "Setting the
credentials on the client request doesn't seem to trigger any events
on the server side. So what do I need to do on the server side to
require these credentials? How do I make a need for authentication?

You have to configure IIS to apply Basic Authentication. But as I said, it's handled completely inside IIS and is based on Windows Domains as realm.

And then once this need is created what events will be generated on
the server that will need to be responded to in order for the request
to succeed?"

In answered that in my previous post. There are AuthenticateRequest and PostAuthenticateRequest.
