Handling redirects with auth parameter?

[CasperWSchmidt]

In #414 a possible fix for handling auth parameters on redirects is suggested. The IRestRequest.Credentials property are marked as obsolete however. So I'm wondering how this could/should be handled these days?

@CasperWSchmidt it's a warning for the future change. The Credentials property is only for NTML, not for Basic Auth as far as I remember. In the issue you mentioned, the Auth header is added in addition to setting credentials and you might try even removing the request.Credentials assignment there and check if it would still work (it might).

@alexeyzimarev I know it's a warning for the future, thats why I don't like to be dependent on that property - it might be removed in the next release :)

What I need to accomplish is, using OAuth 2, to re-add credentials to the request when following a redirect. We have a POST end-point for searching that returns a 307 (IIRC) for the client to follow for the result of the search. All endpoints are secured using OAuth. I know this is disabled by default for security reasons, but our RestSharp helper-class is only used to call internal REST APIs.

@alexeyzimarev any ideas how to solve the problem mentioned above?

[alexeyzimarev]

I don't know to be honest since RestSharp is just a convenience wrapper around the HttpWebRequest and can do just as much as the underlying .NET infrastructure allows us to do. I am open to suggestions but frankly, I have no idea.
