Fantom loging to a remote web in code

Hi I'm really new to Fantom and I'm trying to do a few of things. I desire to access a data response in a server with a uri.

Void gets(){

str := WebClient(webpage).getStr
}

But when I try to connect I revie a 401 error. What's the best way for to send the loggin and password to the server?

Thanks for read

Solution

It all depends on what authentication is used by the server.

Example, if it the server uses Basic HTTP Authentication then you need to set the Authorization HTTP header:

using web

class Example {
  Void main() {
    client := WebClient(`http://www.example.com/`)
    client.reqHeaders["Authorization"] = "Basic " + "username:password".toBuf.toBase64
    result := client.getStr
  }
}

If it uses a different authentication method, then you'll need to read up and implement that.

Note that you need to create a new WebClient instance for each HTTP request, else you'll get strange errors!
