使用现有的库可能更容易。

例如，Identity Server 4中添加了下面的扩展方法 https://www.nuget.org/packages/IdentityModel/

 public static void SetBasicAuthentication(this HttpClient client, string userName, string password);
    //
    // Summary:
    //     Sets a basic authentication header.
    //
    // Parameters:
    //   request:
    //     The HTTP request message.
    //
    //   userName:
    //     Name of the user.
    //
    //   password:
    //     The password.
    public static void SetBasicAuthentication(this HttpRequestMessage request, string userName, string password);
    //
    // Summary:
    //     Sets a basic authentication header for RFC6749 client authentication.
    //
    // Parameters:
    //   client:
    //     The client.
    //
    //   userName:

    //   password:
    //     The password.
    public static void SetBasicAuthenticationOAuth(this HttpClient client, string userName, string password);
    //
    // Summary:

    //
    // Parameters:
    //   request:
    //     The HTTP request message.
    //
    //   userName:
    //     Name of the user.
    //
    //   password:
    //     The password.
    public static void SetBasicAuthenticationOAuth(this HttpRequestMessage request, string userName, string password);
    //
    // Summary:
    //     Sets an authorization header with a bearer token.
    //
    // Parameters:
    //   client:
    //     The client.
    //

    public static void SetBearerToken(this HttpClient client, string token);
    //
    // Summary:
    //     Sets an authorization header with a bearer token.
    //
    // Parameters:

    //     The token.
    public static void SetToken(this HttpClient client, string scheme, string token);
    //
    // Summary:
    //     Sets an authorization header with a given scheme and value.
    //
    // Parameters:
    //   request:

    //
    //   scheme:

    public static void SetToken(this HttpRequestMessage request, string scheme, string token);

我在设置不记名代币

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

它在一个端点上起作用，但在另一个端点上不起作用。问题是我在"持票人"上用了小写b。改变后，现在它工作的两个api的我正在击中。如果你甚至不把它看作是寻找针的干草堆之一，这是一件很容易错过的事情。

一定要有“持票人”，要有资本。

我建议你:

HttpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", "Bearer <token>");

然后你可以这样使用它:

var response = await client.GetAsync(url);
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
    responseMessage = await response.Content.ReadAsAsync<ResponseMessage>();
}

对于现在(2021年)找到这个旧线程的人，请看看这个关于HttpClientFactory的文档，它是可注入的，也会在每个请求上重新运行，避免过期的令牌，这将使它对承载令牌，生成的客户端，池等有用。

TL;DR:使用HttpClientFactory和一个DelegatingHandler，它将作为与您配置的客户端的所有外发请求的中间件。

这就是我如何为Azure身份添加我的承载者(由Azure管理)，但你当然可以获得你想要的令牌;

using Microsoft.Azure.Services.AppAuthentication;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

public class BearerTokenHandler : DelegatingHandler
    {
        public BearerTokenHandler(AzureServiceTokenProvider tokenProvider, string resource)
        {
            TokenProvider = tokenProvider;
            Resource = resource;
        }

        public AzureServiceTokenProvider TokenProvider { get; }
        public string Resource { get; }

        protected override async Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
        {
            if (!request.Headers.Contains("Authorization"))
            {
                // Fetch your token here
                string token = await TokenProvider.GetAccessTokenAsync(Resource);
                request.Headers.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", token);
            }

            return await base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
        }
    }

我在Startup中这样配置我的类型化客户端(用NSwag生成);

   var accessTokenProvider = new AzureServiceTokenProvider("<your-connection-string-for-access-token-provider>");

  builder.Services.AddHttpClient<IOrdersClient, OrdersClient>().ConfigureHttpClient(async conf =>
            {
                conf.BaseAddress = new Uri("<your-api-base-url>");
            }).AddHttpMessageHandler(() => new BearerTokenHandler(accessTokenProvider, "https://your-azure-tenant.onmicrosoft.com/api"));

然后你可以在任何你喜欢的地方注入你的IOrdersClient，所有的请求都会有承载者。

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);
  }
}

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;
