In the second post of this serie I explained how the problem was analyzed using Live HTTP Headers which can be read here. In this post I want to present you a possible solution how to achieve a succesful login on a sharepoint server which uses form based authorization. The WebDavSession from the ITHit component has unfortunately no public interface to set cookies from the outside (although I’m in contact with...

The library is pretty straight forward to use and implemented in TDD manor. The cool thing also about this library is that resources and items from the remote location are returned as interfaces which really simplifies testing in...
