Our main data supplier is changing their download server from an IBM Domino HTTP server to an IBM Apache HTTP server. Our current working production VB.NET 4.0 code cannot access the new test Apache server, getting an error: (401) Unauthorized.

I can login to the new test server in IE11 or Chrome using this format: https://extractstest.foo.org/ftp/filename/

Current Code Snippet:

Dim pageHtml As String

Dim methodName As String = "ExtractFile.GetPageHtml: "

Dim myCred As New NetworkCredential("user","password")

Dim wClient As New WebClient

wClient.Credentials = myCred

Dim pageData As Byte() = wClient.DownloadData("https://extractstest.foo.org/ftp/filename")

pageHtml = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(pageData)

If you are using a WebClient to retrieve the file, supply it with a NetworkCredential object like so:

Dim wc As New WebClient() With {
.Credentials = New NetworkCredentials("MyUserName", "MyPassword")
}
