Title Body

I have a WCF HTTP REST Service and I tie into it with an HTTP client in a different programming language who writes its own custom HTTP. I would like to add WWW-Authenticate basic authentication support to my WCF service. My methods look like this: [WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "widgets", Method = "POST")] public XElement CreateWidget(XElement e) { ... } Is it possible for me to somehow filter incoming HTTP requests so I can check for a valid Basic auth string before it hits each of the REST methods like CreateWidget above? Note: My auth info is stord in my database. Basically I want to check for this in the request headers: Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ== and then I can myself parse that string and validate the u/p in the database. The web.config file is as follows: <?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <connectionStrings> <add name="DatabaseConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Database;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings> <system.web> <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" /> <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="10485760" /> </system.web> <system.webServer> <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"> <add name="UrlRoutingModule" type="System.Web.Routing.UrlRoutingModule, System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" /> </modules> </system.webServer> <system.serviceModel> <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" /> <standardEndpoints> <webHttpEndpoint> <standardEndpoint name="" helpEnabled="true" automaticFormatSelectionEnabled="true" maxReceivedMessageSize="1048576" maxBufferSize="1048576" /> </webHttpEndpoint&g
