Visual Studio Community Version 17.7.4 Http Test 401 Errors

John Reynolds 0

Since upgrading my Visual Studio Community edition to Version 17.7.4, I noticed that the method of sending requests in an http test document has changed in the UI from a green play button to a “Send Request” link. More importantly, since this update all of my test requests now return “401 Unauthorized” responses. I do get successful responses from the Swagger window, and pasting the GET URL into a Chrome browser also returns a successful response.

Hi @John Reynolds, I do get successful responses from the Swagger window, and pasting the GET URL into a Chrome browser also returns a successful where you got 401 Unauthorized error? From your description, your code seems to work fine in chrome and swagger. Could you provide more related information about http test document.

Hi Xinran, thanks for the reply. I receive the 401 errors when using the .http file editor from within Visual Studio 2022, as described at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/test/http-files?view=aspnetcore-8.0

It used to work beautifully with no error until the update I mentioned.
