I get the following error attampting to get an authentication ticket:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Net.WebException' occurred in system.dll
Additional information: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.
Here is the VB.Net code:
Dim URLAuth As String = "https://technet.rapaport.com/HTTP/Authenticate.aspx"
Dim webClient As New WebClient
Dim formData As New NameValueCollection
formData("Username") = "xxxxxxxxxx"
formData("Password") = "xxxxxxxxxx"
Dim responseBytes As Byte() = webClient.UploadValues(URLAuth, "POST", formData)
The Username and Password are valid - when I browse to URLAuth and enter them I get an authorization string. (I tried the C# example on the website and got the same error.) What am I missing?
Thanks,
Joe Shurpin

The code looks fine to me (I didn't test though). Do you have any special characters in the password by any chance?

The password does contain a "reserved" character, so I encoded it. I still get the same 401 error.
In my download prices program, which does not use the authorization string but rather uses the username/password directly for the download, I have no problems even without encoding the reserved character.
