c# - http web request with https and basic authentication -

i'm trying webrequest on https url basic authentication. , not working! below code, works if use non secure url vs secure one, , can't figure out i'm doing wrong. works find non secure, when secure url used, 401 user auth error. set wrong on server, or code?

could me?

        var req = system.net.httpwebrequest.create(url) httpwebrequest;         req.method = method.tostring();         req.contenttype = "application/json";         req.date = requesttime;         req.proxy = null;         string credentials = string.format("{0}:{1}", "xxxx", "xxxx");         byte[] bytes = encoding.ascii.getbytes(credentials);         string base64 = convert.tobase64string(bytes);         string authorization = string.concat("basic ", base64);         req.headers.add("authorization", authorization);         httpwebresponse response = (httpwebresponse)req.getresponse();     stream receivestream = response.getresponsestream();          streamreader readstream = new streamreader(receivestream, encoding.utf8);         string responsebody = readstream.readtoend();         console.writeline(responsebody);          response.close();         readstream.close(); 

this works me:

var webrequest = (httpwebrequest)webrequest.create(url); webrequest.method = "get"; webrequest.contenttype = "application/json"; webrequest.useragent = "mozilla/5.0 (windows nt 5.1; rv:28.0) gecko/20100101 firefox/28.0"; webrequest.contentlength = 0; // added per comment string autorization = "username" + ":" + "password"; byte[] binaryauthorization = system.text.encoding.utf8.getbytes(autorization); autorization = convert.tobase64string(binaryauthorization); autorization = "basic " + autorization; webrequest.headers.add("authorization", autorization); var webresponse = (httpwebresponse)webrequest.getresponse(); if (webresponse.statuscode != httpstatuscode.ok) console.writeline("{0}",webresponse.headers); using (streamreader reader = new streamreader(webresponse.getresponsestream())) {     string s = reader.readtoend();     console.writeline(s);     reader.close(); }
