HTTP Basic Auth

Hi,
I don't remember if this was in the version 6.1.3.0, but I added the basic authentication (I used it for my router). It here in the latest beta version

Alright! Thanks, David!

I just tried by updating an existing session and just switched Auth mode from 'Form' to 'Basic'. Upon opening the session (embedded), I got this:



ArgumentException - Value does not fall within the expected range.

OK as far as I can tell it's because my username and/or password has an @ in it ;)

What I don't like is that the URL is visible in the embedded browser, including password in plain text.

Hi,
I understand but if you use the external mode, it disappear from the browser url. Maybe I could do the same in embedded mode?

yes, would be good. seeing plain passwords makes me shiver :)

also, can you escape user name and password, please? So it doesn't crash when you have URL sensitive characters in your credentials.

System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode Method

Hi,
I will try, but I'm not sure the application will handle it correctly, have you tried to manually escape it?

Manually escaping it does work indeed!

If your username is "user@example.com" you just type "user%40example.com" into the 'User name' field and it works.
So it should be no problem for you to add the escape function

thanks!

Thank you very much
