The .net Compact Framework http client classes support both basic and
digest authentication. Therefore, if the server requests that the client
authenticate itself using either of those authentication schemes, and the
HttpWebRequest class has been provided with credentials (in the form of a
NetworkCredential class or some other ICredentials instance), then the http
client will authenticate to the server
