[Mono-devel-list] RFC 2617 basic auth in System.Net.HttpWebRequest

[Mohammad DAMT]

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.
Patch to accomodate such auth method is attached. I have no idea is it 
the right place to set the http header in the set block of Credentials 
property.
