Staging Authorization
I'm developing a C# application to access our community and am having difficulty authorizing with the Staging environment for testing. Is it possible to automatically provide the username / password...

It is possible to add IP addresses or IP address ranges to the whitelist for your staging environment so that requests from those IP addresses will not require the basic authentication. It sounds like that might be the easiest path for you at this point. In order to get that setup, I'd suggest submitting a request via our Customer Case Portal (the "Support" tab up above). Our support team should be able to assist with adding the necessary IP addresses to the whitelist. You will need to provide them with the externally-facing IP address that the requests will be coming from.
Thanks again for your help. I figured out the problem: it was my lack of knowledge of how Basic Authorization works. I was expecting to send the authorization information in my first HTTP request and receive a 200 response. What I overlooked is the first response from the server must be 401. After that, I can supply the authorization info in my HTTP header and the server will authorize my client.
