I am using HTTPAPI_VERSION_1 to implement an HTTP server. I am using HTTPAPI_VERSION_1 as I want to run the HTTP web server on Windows 2003 as well.

I am finding it difficult to identify how HTTP authentication information is returned by httpreceivehttprequest function.

In HTTPAPI_VERSION_2 httpreceivehttprequest returns HTTP_REQUEST_AUTH_INFO which has authorization related information. MSDN sample also uses the same.

Please let me know how to obtain authorization information in HTTPAPI_VERSION_1.

Found the answer.

HTTPAPI_VERSION_1 APIs do not implement authentication by itself. It is the application's responsibility to do it - rather painful :( But that is the only way out............
