The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme Basic. The authentication header received from the server was Basic realm

Hi,

I am consuming a web-service in an ASP.Net page. 

<bindings><basicHttpBinding><binding name="BasicHttpBinding_Service1"><security mode="Transport"><transport clientCredentialType="Basic" /><message clientCredentialType="UserName" /></security></binding></basicHttpBinding></bindings>

client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "domain\user";
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "pwd";

contract = client.MyServiceMethod(callContext, parameter1, parameter2);

at the above line I get the following error message:

The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme Basic. The authentication header received from the server was Basic realm="MySite.com".

The server config file has:

<bindings><basicHttpBinding><binding name="service1"><security mode="Transport"><transport clientCredentialType="Basic" /></security></binding></basicHttpBinding></bindings>

P. S. I am not a regular ASP.Net/ Visual C# developer.

Regards,

Abhinay
