Retaining authorization header in RestSharp during redirects












0















I am using RestSharp to make a GET api call. The api call is authenticated through HTTP Basic authentication by passing the authorization header.



The server redirects the api call with a status code 307. My client code does handle the redirects but the authorization header is not passed to this redirected api call. This is done for valid reasons as mentioned here. Hence I do get an unauthorized error.



How can I configure the RestClient to restore the authorization header?



var client = new RestClient("https://serverurl.com");
var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);

request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Basic Z3JvdXAxOlByb2otMzI1");
request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
request.AddHeader("Tenant-Id", "4892");

IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
Console.WriteLine(response.Content);

          I added a check that resends the api request of receiving a 401 with the below code.



          var client = new RestClient("https://serverurl.com");
          var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);

          request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Basic Z3JvdXAxOlByb2otMzI1");
          request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
          request.AddHeader("Tenant-Id", "4892");

          IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);

          //Resend the request if we get 401
          int numericStatusCode = (int)response.StatusCode;
          if(numericStatusCode == 401) {
          var redirectedClient = new RestClient(response.ResponseUri.ToString());
          IRestResponse newResponse = redirectedClient.Execute(request);
          Console.WriteLine(newResponse.ResponseStatus);
          }
