Hi Viv,

This works:

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{

Westwind.InternetTools.wwHttp Http = new wwHttp();
Http.CreateWebRequestObject("http://www.west-wind.com/wwstore/admin/default.aspx");

// *** This picks up the current login 
Http.WebRequest.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

string Result = Http.GetUrl("http://www.west-wind.com/wwstore/admin/default.aspx");

Response.Write("System Username:" + Environment.UserName);
Response.Write("Auth Username: " + User.Identity.Name);

if (Http.Error)
	Response.Write("ERROR: " + Http.ErrorMessage);
else
	Response.Write(Result);	

Response.End();
}

where the url I'm hitting is protected by Windows Authentication.

My security on the client page (and on the server as well in the admin directory) is set up like this:

<location path="demos">
<system.web>
    <identity impersonate="true" />
    <!-- WS: Allow only Authenticated users -->
    <authorization>
    <!-- allow users="*" /-->
    <deny users="?" />
    </authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

With the Config file you don't even need to set any directory permissions, unless you also need to protect files not handled by ASP.NET.
