这可能有助于设置标题:

WebClient client = new WebClient();

string authInfo = this.credentials.UserName + ":" + this.credentials.Password;
authInfo = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(authInfo));
client.Headers["Authorization"] = "Basic " + authInfo;

使用System.Net.Http程序集的AuthenticationHeaderValue类

public AuthenticationHeaderValue(
    string scheme,
    string parameter
)

我们可以像这样设置或更新httpclient现有的授权头:

httpclient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", TokenResponse.AccessToken);

你也可以使用下面的例子，它使用IHttpClientFactory:

    readonly IHttpClientFactory _httpClientFactory;
    
    public HTTPClientHelper(IHttpClientFactory httpClientFactory, string clientName = null)
    {
        this._httpClientFactory = httpClientFactory;
    }

    public Task<T> GetAsync(string url, string token) {

        var client = _httpClientFactory.CreateClient(_clientName);

        client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue(JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme, token);

        using (HttpResponseMessage response = await _client.GetAsync(url)){
          ......
        }
     }

6年过去了，但为了帮助别人，我加了这个。

https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/996401/Authenticate-WebAPIs-with-Basic-and-Windows-Authen

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);
  }
}

如果你想重用HttpClient，建议不要使用DefaultRequestHeaders，因为它们是用来发送每个请求的。

你可以试试这个:

var requestMessage = new HttpRequestMessage
    {
        Method = HttpMethod.Post,
        Content = new StringContent("...", Encoding.UTF8, "application/json"),
        RequestUri = new Uri("...")
    };

requestMessage.Headers.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", 
    Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes($"{user}:{password}")));

var response = await _httpClient.SendAsync(requestMessage);

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);
        }
    }
