Im going to update worklog of an issue;

HttpWebResponse return this error "The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.".
Can anyone help me please?

Here is my code:

protected string RunQuery(JiraResource resource, string issue_id, string data = null, string method = "PUT")
{

//resource = issue
  // data :{"worklog":{"add":{"comment":"Sample test comment by IJ","started":"2014-01-28T19:25:33.78125+05:30","timeSpent":210}}}

string url = string.Format("{0}{1}/", m_BaseUrl, resource.ToString());

if (issue_id != null)
            {
                url = string.Format("{0}{1}", url, issue_id);
            }
   // url : https://company.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/JIRA-16
            
            HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url) as HttpWebRequest;
            request.ContentType = "application/json";
            request.Method = method;
            request.ContentLength = data.Length;
 
            using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream()))
            {
                writer.Write(data);
            }
 
            string base64Credentials = GetEncodedCredentials();
            request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + base64Credentials);
 
            HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse;
 
            string result = string.Empty;
            using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
            {
                result = reader.ReadToEnd();
            }
 
            return result;
 
        }

where;

private string GetEncodedCredentials()
        {
            string mergedCredentials = string.Format("{0}:{1}", m_Username, m_Password);
            byte[] byteCredentials = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(mergedCredentials);
            return Convert.ToBase64String(byteCredentials);
        }

I should have add authorization header before sending request stream.
like below;

HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url) as HttpWebRequest;
        request.ContentType = "application/json";
        request.Method = method;
        request.ContentLength = data.Length;

        string base64Credentials = GetEncodedCredentials();
        request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + base64Credentials);

        using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream()))
        {
            writer.Write(data);
        }

HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse;
