How To Add Basic Authentication To HTTP Request-CodePudding

I have always used RestSharp - but this project requires HttpClient. How would I add basic auth to this?

var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(jsonPost);
var data = new StringContent(json, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");

var url = "";
using var client = new HttpClient();

var response = await client.PostAsync(url, data);
var result = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
Console.ReadLine();

CodePudding user response：

Try below implementation -

 using var client = new HttpClient();
            var byteArray = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("username:password");
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", Convert.ToBase64String(byteArray));
            var response = await client.PostAsync(url, data);
            var result = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

Add an Authorization header.

Authorization: Basic <"user:pass" encoded to base64>
