Configure HTTP Basic Authentication with SecureString

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.SetAuthBasicSecure, which configures HTTP Basic authentication using SecureString objects instead of plaintext strings.

bool success = false;

Chilkat.Rest rest = new Chilkat.Rest();
bool bTls = true;
bool bAutoReconnect = true;
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  SetAuthBasicSecure configures HTTP Basic authentication using SecureString objects, which keep
//  the credentials encrypted in memory.
//  Normally you would not hard-code secrets in source.  You should instead obtain them from an
//  interactive prompt, environment variable, or a secrets vault.
Chilkat.SecureString ssUsername = new Chilkat.SecureString();
ssUsername.Append("myUsername");
Chilkat.SecureString ssPassword = new Chilkat.SecureString();
ssPassword.Append("myPassword");

success = rest.SetAuthBasicSecure(ssUsername,ssPassword);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

string responseText = rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/api/protected");
if (rest.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine(responseText);
