Does this help you?

Let me know if you need something more specific.

This still didn't tell me how to add "NTLM" Authorization header.
The problem i am currently facing is :

I use normal httpwebrequest to send a request, I add credentials (my
email and password), then i watch the request using fiddler, the
negotiate authorization header is very veryyyy large. I am move on to
using restsharp , i use basichttpauthorization and the resulting
header is veryyyy smalllllllll, so i receive an unauthorized error.

So i need to know how to send a negotiate or NTLM header using
restsharp. Or if you know how to generate this header (encoding and
what to put in it) and i know already know how to add the header using
addparameter function.

Thanks for you help in advance :) .

It sounds like you're trying to use credentials that aren't the currently logged in user.

Take a look at the implementation of the NtlmAuthenticator.cs. It uses System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials and does not allow for a custom credential. To support this a separate constructor overload would need to be added to the NtlmAuthenticator to take in a user and password and construct a new NetworkCredential.

NTLM is encrypted which is why the values are so large. Basic auth is sent in plain text.

Sorry, basic isn't in plain text. Its encoded but still isn't as large as an encrypted value.

so does anyone know how i can encrypt the data ??

I'm sorry. I'm not following. Can you be more specific with what you're trying to do?
