Hi there,
I was trying a bit of code that accesses confluence API which has authentication enforced on it. Sample is below
static void Main()
{ string url = @"http://dubconfluence800:8090/rest/api/content/?os_authType=basic/?spaceKey=DOL&title=Dolphin+Test+Cases"; Uri myUri = new Uri(url); WebRequest myWebRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create(myUri); HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)myWebRequest; string uN = Base64Encode("Brannick"); string pW = Base64Encode("Brannick"); NetworkCredential myNetworkCredential = new NetworkCredential(uN, pW); CredentialCache myCredentialCache = new CredentialCache(); myCredentialCache.Add(myUri, "Basic", myNetworkCredential); myHttpWebRequest.PreAuthenticate = true; myHttpWebRequest.Credentials = myCredentialCache; WebResponse myWebResponse = myWebRequest.GetResponse(); Stream responseStream = myWebResponse.GetResponseStream(); StreamReader myStreamReader = new StreamReader(responseStream, Encoding.Default); string pageContent = myStreamReader.ReadToEnd(); responseStream.Close(); myWebResponse.Close(); Console.WriteLine(pageContent); }public static string Base64Encode(string plainText)
{ var plainTextBytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(plainText); return Convert.ToBase64String(plainTextBytes); }I'm writing this in C# as it is a requirement for the task i'm doing. As you can see from the code the url in question is the folllowing
http://dubconfluence800:8090/rest/api/content/?spaceKey=DOL&title=Dolphin+Test+Cases
when I try that manually in the browser or via code I get the following
{"statusCode":404,"message":"No space with key : DOL"}which is as expected as per manual steps as the page has authentication enabled. However. I would have thought via code I would be ok based on content in the folllowing link
Would you have any guidance on the above as to what I may be doing wrong? thanks in advance.
Btw I got redirected to yourselves by a person from a different team...you can see the details in the folllowing link

Hi,
Can somebody help with the following query please? I still haven't received a response to this which is disappointing and I work for a company that currently holds approximately 500 licenses for Confluence & Jira

I think I found the problem....this ticket can be closed...it was to do with the way I was passing in credentials
The problem code was this part...first 3 lines work...last 3 lines fails if you do it that way...
{0}//New Way
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Http.Get;
string credentials = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(@"admin:12345"));
request.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.Authorization] = string.Format("Basic
", credentials);
//Old Way
//NetworkCredential networkCredential = new NetworkCredential(@"admin", @"12345"); // logon in format "domain\username"
//CredentialCache myCredentialCache = new CredentialCache {{ new Uri(url), "Basic", networkCredential }};
//request.Credentials = myCredentialCache;
First answer in this post details the reason.....

apologies this isn't a confluence issue at all...
