+Summary: Credentials property of System.Net.HttpWebRequest does not work
+
+Description of Problem:
+Basic auth in System.Net.HttpWebRequest can be set from Credentials property.
+Currently this property does nothing and sends no auth info (RFC2617) to
+the server which will cause http error 401.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Create a simple http client, set the Credentials propery
+2. make a request to a web server which configured to use Basic
+Authentication method
+
+Actual Results:
+HttpWebRequest does not set "Authorization" header, so web server will deny
+the request by issuing error "401 Unauthorized"
+
+Expected Results:
+HttpWebRequest sets "Authorization: Basic user-pass-base64" which
+user-pass-base64 is a base 64 string of "username:password"
+(according to the mentioned RFC)
+
+How often does this happen? 
+always
