Thanks Free. The user and password get encoded into a Base64 string.

string user = Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(username.ToString() + ":" + password.ToString()));

@Adam - Thanks for the code, but I've been wrestling with the exact code. Can't figure what's not happening. I was able to get your code to fire, but the header never appears in my sniffer, so I can't confirm it's working. I'll keep at it and post an update if I get it working.

Hope you do the same :)

Glad this helped out guys

Hey Len,

Yeah this is one of my many 'great ideas' that are just sitting on the bench now. I wrestled with this for a while and just never got past the auth prompt. I really thought tapping into the XMLHttpRequest object would be the answer, but I couldn't get the auth headers to work properly. As far as security concerns go, I hadn't really put a lot of thought into this since I only wanted this as a local utility of my own.

Please come back if you figure this out for me ;)

Funny finding this post now that I'm working with WebORB.net and Flex too. I've been wrestling with WO, and starting to think most of my problems is platform - VISTA Ultimate. As in, Ultimate nightmare. I finally got the default /weborb30 working ( everything except the Deployment tab ), and now I'm setting up a fresh site outside of the default install. Got all files in place, diagnostics says all is well, weborbconsole has no Management tab. Freaking awesome!

@FJ1 - Sweet! Glad this helped somebody out. If you have access to the XP administrator account, you can always hit the built in shares like so "smb://x.x.x.x/C$", just be ready to enter the user / pswd.

Another tip, command + K is the shortcut for the 'Connect to Server' dialog box.

( for some reason the reply feature isn't working for me )

This message is coming from your webbrowser. It's telling you it isn't sure how to render the XML.

yup, back in the day. The drummer in this picture is James Joyce and he's chronicling the Atlanta music scene from back then. >> http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/

I'm glad I could help Ashier.
