The only thing this line of code does, is accepting certificates regardless of their validity.

If you get a 401 response, this means that you need to provide credentials — that’s not affected by the ServerCertificateValidationCallback. What happens if you go to that URL using a browser?

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = delegate { return true; };

What do I replace ‘true’ with? My application wants to connect, but I get the error:

“The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.”
