RSS Widget requires authentication #32

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I have this RSS widget that retrieves the content from another site that 
requires login. The url that I specified for the RSS widget 
programmatically logs the user in and redirect the user to the rss page.
If I just typed in the url manually to an IE browser, everything seems to 
work just fine; however when the 'WebRequest' in RSSWidget tries to 
retrieve the content, it just fails to retrieve anything.

Any idea what went wrong?
Is there a way to be able to auto login a user and then retrieve the rss 
feed?

Thanks

Try create a method like GetRss in ProxyAsync but using a WebClient class with 
credentials. 

Code example of use:

WebClient wc = new WebClient();
wc.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
string url = "http://foo.com";                  
try
{
        using (Stream stream = wc.OpenRead(new Uri(url)))
        {
                using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
            {
                return reader.ReadToEnd();
             }
        }
}
catch (WebException e)
{
        //Error handeling
}

On the ProxyAsync.GetRss method, can you try adding the credential to the 
HttpWebRequest class and see it works?
