Basic authentication with CouchDB in C#

Question

I'm having issues with CouchDB getting authentication Working i use this GET request (http://Admin:[email protected]:5984/_all_dbs) and i get back that i am not a Server Admin.

The Request Method i use!

public string request_GET(string URL)
{
    try
    {
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(URL);
        request.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate;

        using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
        using (Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream())
        using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
        {
            return reader.ReadToEnd();
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;
        Console.WriteLine(ex);
        Console.ResetColor();
        Console.ReadKey();
        return "Error";
    }

The Solution to the probleme!

public HttpClient Client { get; set; } = new HttpClient();


private static AuthenticationHeaderValue GetBasicAuthorizationHeader(string username, string password)
{
    Span<byte> bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes($"{username}:{password}");
    string encoded = Convert.ToBase64String(bytes);

    return new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", encoded);
}



public async Task<string> GetRequestAsync(string URL, String Username, String Password)
{
    try
    {
        using HttpRequestMessage request = new(HttpMethod.Get, URL);
        request.Headers.Authorization = GetBasicAuthorizationHeader(Username,Password);
        using HttpResponseMessage response = await Client.SendAsync(request);

        if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
        {
            return await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
        }
        else
        {
            return $"Error in request [{response.StatusCode}]";
        }
       
        
        


    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;
        Console.WriteLine(ex);
        Console.ResetColor();
        Console.ReadKey();
        return "Error";
    }
