I am attempting to create a small application that will push an xml page to a phone. I can do it with a simple ASP page and POSTing to http://ipaddress/CGI/Execute
However; when I execute the POST I am prompted for credentials. When I enter the credentials in my browser the POST works fine.
What I want to know is how can I include the credentials in the ASP page so I am not prompted? I have looked at the SDK and reviewed the samples but I don't know java to translate it into vbScript.
I am only looking for basic authentication.
Do I have to encode the username and password into base64?
If so is there a special key that has to be used in the encryption process?
Here is my asp code.
<html>
<head>POST to Phone at 10.10.10.36</head>
<body>
<P>
<!-- Need a form with an action that goes to the case-sensitive URL for the Phone you want to POST to. -->
<form action="http://10.10.10.36/CGI/Execute" method="POST" >
<!?There must be a form field that contains the xml data for the Phone action and it must be named XML case-sensitive. -->
<textarea COLS=60 ROWS=10 name="XML">
<CiscoIPPhoneExecute>
<ExecuteItem Priority="0" URL="Play:chime.raw" />
<ExecuteItem Priority="0" URL="http://10.10.10.201/alert.xml" />
</CiscoIPPhoneExecute>
</textarea>
</P>
<P>
<input type="submit" value="Push" />
</P>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Ultimately I want to put this in a desktop app so if anyone would like to share the process to post to a phone in .NET, it would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the quick reply.
I tried that and it didn't work. The page didn't even look like it tried to push the xml to the phone.

If your end goal is a desktop app, why not go for it directly, since it is rather simple. A quick google search yielded plenty of results that could be used as a template. For instance, this one: http://xmlgateway.its.utexas.edu/docs/c_sharp_ex_http.html
That one even does certificate authentication, but I'm sure you'll have an example with basic authentication a minute from browsing to google :)
