Hello,

I have a .wsdl that is publicly exposed over the internet. This .wsdl requires that a user enter their username and password.

If I enter the .wsdl URL in FireFox, I am prompted for my credentials. I enter my credentials and I am shown the XML of the .wsdl.

When I try to add a service reference in Visual Web Developer Express 2008 to the .wsdl, I receive an error. The error says:

"There was an error downloading '[WSDL URL]'. The request failed with HTTP status 400: Bad Request. Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: '[WSDL URL]'. The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'. The authentication header received from the server was 'Digest qop="auth", realm="[Realm]", nonce="[Nonce]"'."

Why can't I access this service via Visual Web Developer Express 2008 even though I can see it in my browser?

Thank you,
