Digest Authentication with HttpWebRequest

I am looking for a specific example for using Digest Authentication with HttpWebRequest. For doing DigestAuthentication, I create the NetworkCredential using the username/password and domain.

Then I set the Credentials property on the HttpWebRequest.

My question is what is required to indicate to the HttpWebRequest that it is a Digest Authentication.

I am looking for specific example of making an HttpWebRequest using Digest authentication scheme. In all the samples, I see that a NetworkCredential is created and then added to the CredentialCache.

But there is no indication on how HttpWeqRequest does t开发者_StackOverflowhe Digest Authentication.

Thanks

httpwebrequest made the request to the server with digest authentication by adding the cache to its credential where the authentication type of the cache is specified by Digest like:

CredentialCache cache = new CredentialCache();
cache.add(new uri("your url"), "Digest", New NetworkCredential("username", "Password", "domain"));
request.Credential = cache;
