how do I send userid/password in an https session

Question

I've built a request in Fiddler and need to send authentication info with the https request. Where would I put these credentials and tell Fiddler to use them?

Answer 1

Without knowing fiddler I'd assume:

protocol://user:password@hostname:port/

Answer 2

That entirely depends on what kind of authentication mechanism the server is using. Most web servers use Basic, Digest, or Negotiate authentication; all convey the credentials via the WWW-Authorization request header.
