title: Use Fiddler with Basic Authentication to access RESTful WebAPI
body: <p>I have a WebAPI that works without issue.  I have tested locally and deployed to my server and configured this service in IIS to use Basic Authentication.  I am able to browse to my service and I receive the Authentication challenge I expect and all works swimmingly!  Now I want to use Fiddler to test this and I have constructed a POST to a specific url and I got a 401 (Unauthorized) error.  So I decided to add a base64 string in my Request Header and I am now getting a 500 error.</p>
  
  <p>What I would like to know is, does my Request Header look correct?  I am obviously going to obfuscate my Host and base64 string which contains the format username:password for the Authentication challenge.</p>
