I am trying to push simple text on the phone from a C# console application. I provider the phone user credentials, the web server on the phone is enabled but still I get this exception:

The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

This is XML:

<CiscoIPPhoneText>
<Title>Title Text Goes Here</Title>
<Prompt>The prompt text goes here</Prompt>"
<Text>The text to be displayed as the message body</Text>

<SoftKeyItem>
<Name>Cancel</Name>
<URL>SoftKey:Cancel</URL>
<Position>4</Position>
</SoftKeyItem>

</CiscoIPPhoneText>

What else can I check to get rid of this exception? Also, is there a way I can bypass authentication and just push text or whatever on the phone, may be by using Admin user credentials?

Thanks,
Max

Seems like I got a little further, but still getting 401 Unauthorized exception. I added the Auhorization header to the HttpWebRequest like this

byte[] credentialBuffer = new UTF8Encoding().GetBytes(userName + ":" + password);
req.Headers = "Basic " + Convert.ToBase64String(credentialBuffer);

Now I see the Authorization header in WireShark and it goes a little further than before to try to authenticate my credentials by posting my UserID, Password and DeviceName to ccmip/authenticate.jsp. The host where this request is sent shows up as TFTP server on my phone's Network Configuration.

Now what should I be missing to see this exception?

Would you like to see the capture?

Thanks,
Max
