使用c# HttpClient设置基本身份验证。下面的代码为我工作。

   using (var client = new HttpClient())
        {
            var webUrl ="http://localhost/saleapi/api/";
            var uri = "api/sales";
            client.BaseAddress = new Uri(webUrl);
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.ConnectionClose = true;

            //Set Basic Auth
            var user = "username";
            var password = "password";
            var base64String =Convert.ToBase64String( Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes($"{user}:{password}"));
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic",base64String);

            var result = await client.PostAsJsonAsync(uri, model);
            return result;
        }

我是这样做的:

using (HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient())
{
   Dictionary<string, string> tokenDetails = null;
   var messageDetails = new Message { Id = 4, Message1 = des };
   HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
   client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:3774/");
   var login = new Dictionary<string, string>
       {
           {"grant_type", "password"},
           {"username", "sa@role.com"},
           {"password", "lopzwsx@23"},
       };
   var response = client.PostAsync("Token", new FormUrlEncodedContent(login)).Result;
   if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
   {
      tokenDetails = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, string>>(response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result);
      if (tokenDetails != null && tokenDetails.Any())
      {
         var tokenNo = tokenDetails.FirstOrDefault().Value;
         client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " + tokenNo);
         client.PostAsJsonAsync("api/menu", messageDetails)
             .ContinueWith((postTask) => postTask.Result.EnsureSuccessStatusCode());
      }
   }
}

这个you-tube视频帮了我大忙。请查看一下。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCwnU06NV5Q

方法是这样的，

httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization =
    new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", "Your Oauth token");

request.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = 
    new AuthenticationHeaderValue(
        "Basic", Convert.ToBase64String(
            System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(
               $"{yourusername}:{yourpwd}")));

static async Task<AccessToken> GetToken()
{
        string clientId = "XXX";
        string clientSecret = "YYY";
        string credentials = String.Format("{0}:{1}", clientId, clientSecret);

        using (var client = new HttpClient())
        {
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(credentials)));
            List<KeyValuePair<string, string>> requestData = new List<KeyValuePair<string, string>>();
            requestData.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>("grant_type", "client_credentials"));
            FormUrlEncodedContent requestBody = new FormUrlEncodedContent(requestData);
            var request = await client.PostAsync("https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token", requestBody);
            var response = await request.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
            return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<AccessToken>(response);
        }
    }

6年过去了，但为了帮助别人，我加了这个。

var authenticationBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("<username>:<password>");
using (HttpClient confClient = new HttpClient())
{
  confClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", 
         Convert.ToBase64String(authenticationBytes));
  confClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue(Constants.MediaType));  
  HttpResponseMessage message = confClient.GetAsync("<service URI>").Result;
  if (message.IsSuccessStatusCode)
  {
    var inter = message.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
    List<string> result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<string>>(inter.Result);
  }
}
