I've got an issue with the BasicAuthProvider in ServiceStack. POST-ing to the CredentialsAuthProvider (/auth/credentials) is working fine.

The problem is that when GET-ing (in Chrome): http://foo:pwd@localhost:81/tag/string/list

the following is the result

Handler for Request not found:

Request.HttpMethod: GET Request.HttpMethod: GET Request.PathInfo: /login Request.QueryString: System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection Request.RawUrl: /login?redirect=http%3a%2f%2flocalhost%3a81%2ftag%2fstring%2flist

which tells me that it redirected me to /login instead of serving the /tag/... request.

Here's the entire code for my AppHost:

public class AppHost : AppHostHttpListenerBase, IMessageSubscriber
{
    private ITagProvider myTagProvider;
    private IMessageSender mySender;

    private const string UserName = "foo";
    private const string Password = "pwd";

    public AppHost( TagConfig config, IMessageSender sender )
        : base( "BM App Host", typeof( AppHost ).Assembly )
    {
        myTagProvider = new TagProvider( config );
        mySender = sender;
    }

    public class CustomUserSession : AuthUserSession
    {
        public override void OnAuthenticated( IServiceBase authService, IAuthSession session, IOAuthTokens tokens, System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string, string> authInfo )
        {
            authService.RequestContext.Get<IHttpRequest>().SaveSession( session );
        }
    }

    public override void Configure( Funq.Container container )
    {
        Plugins.Add( new MetadataFeature() );

        container.Register<BeyondMeasure.WebAPI.Services.Tags.ITagProvider>( myTagProvider );
        container.Register<IMessageSender>( mySender );

        Plugins.Add( new AuthFeature( () => new CustomUserSession(),
                new AuthProvider[] {
                    new CredentialsAuthProvider(), //HTML Form post of UserName/Password credentials
                    new BasicAuthProvider(), //Sign-in with Basic Auth
                } ) );

        container.Register<ICacheClient>( new MemoryCacheClient() );
        var userRep = new InMemoryAuthRepository();
        container.Register<IUserAuthRepository>( userRep );

        string hash;
        string salt;
        new SaltedHash().GetHashAndSaltString( Password, out hash, out salt );
        // Create test user
        userRep.CreateUserAuth( new UserAuth
        {
            Id = 1,
            DisplayName = "DisplayName",
            Email = "[email protected]",
            UserName = UserName,
            FirstName = "FirstName",
            LastName = "LastName",
            PasswordHash = hash,
            Salt = salt,
        }, Password );
    }
}

Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong with either the SS configuration or how I am calling the service, i.e. why does it not accept the supplied user/pwd?

Update1: Request/Response captured in Fiddler2when only BasicAuthProvider is used. No Auth header sent in the request, but also no Auth header in the response.

Update2 Request/Response with HtmlRedirect = null . SS now answers with the Auth header, which Chrome then issues a second request for and authentication succeeds
