I am navigating to web page in windows phone web browser control. How to detect whether the requested web page url is authenticated or not in web browser control?
I don't think there is a way as cookies in web browser control are inaccessible. If they were accessible we could have checked their value and it would have been easy.

I've got a Xamarin Forms app running on Android and ios.
The app includes a webview. A user signs up through the webview and the web page loaded within the webview sets neccessary cookies.
When clicking on a link in the webview I want to open up the url in the in-app browser using the Xamarin.Essentials.Browser API.
And I need cookies to be shared between the webview and the in-app browser to maintain the user session.
The webview domain is domain.com/app/ and the in-app Browser url is test.domain.com/
The webview webpage is setting cookies on *.domain.com
If I open the desired page (test.domain.com/) in the webview through an iframe the page loads and the user is logged in.
When I open the page in the in-app Browser, after cookies being set inside webview, the user is not logged in.
Is there something essential about sharing cookies this way that I Am missing?
Google just changed their oauth model to the new specification:
Modernizing OAuth interactions in Native Apps for Better Usability and Security
I am trying to follow (specifically section 7 of) the ietf "draft-ietf-oauth-native-apps-09" linked in the above blog, and also this reference from google:
OAuth 2.0 for Mobile & Desktop Apps
The issue I have encountered is that the custom uri-scheme behavior varies across browsers, and in some cases does not work as expected. In Firefox, which maybe be the default system browser, the app actually open inside Firefox, embedded - it does not return to the app it embeds the app in the browser, while the app from which the authentication flow was started remains open.
In chrome, it correctly redirects back to the app, however the chrome page with the authentication confirmation page remains open and does not close, which could be confusing to users.
How can I make sure that the oauth provider will always redirect to my app (without the browser embedding it), and close the tab or window which had the authentication flow open?
I have installed User Agent Switcher in my firefox and some of the websites when opened automatically redirects to mobile while some of them render desktop websites only.
For example nytinmes.com when opened automatically redirected to http://mobile.nytimes.com/?referrer= while thehindu.com didnt get redirected to m.thehindu.com. My phone mobile does redirect thehindu.com to m.thehindu.com though.
What is making the difference. How do I truly get mobile browser behaviour on my desktop browser?
In my app I use WebBrowser control. User can visit http://mail.google.com then without logging out from google.com he visits http://twitter.com then http://abcd.com etc.
Now my requirement is to do the fresh start of the WebBrowser control and revisit those website and force the user to login again on those sites.
I tried so many options but I failed. I'm not able to find out exactly how can I delete all cookies from My Webbrowser control and do a fresh start.
Can any body did the same successfully? Can you please share your code?
I have a VB6 application using a WebBrowser control to access a site.
I need to push the user's Windows Authentication credentials to the control so he won't get asked to enter his user and password when he accesses a web application in an intranet.
I have seen solutions in .NET like this post.
Send credentials to WebBrowser
Is there a way to achieve this with Visual Basic 6?
The VB6 WebBrowser control will exhibit the same behavior as IE--so if the URL is in the trusted sites or intranet zones it should automatically use your network credentials--no coding necessary.
If you want to programmatically add your URL to a zone, use the SetZoneMapping function.
