HttpRequestMessage and Digest Authentication

c#, digest-authentication, windows-runtime

Solution

I'm using the `HttpClient` for an HttpRequest Message. The `HttpClient` constructor accepts a `HttpClientHandler`, which accepts as `Credentials` property an instance of `CredentialCache`. A `CredentialCache` should be able to work with digest authentication.

Code should be like:

var credCache = new CredentialCache();
credCache.Add(new Uri("http://.com/"),"Digest", new NetworkCredential(UserName,SecurelyStoredPassword,Domain));
var httpClient = new HttpClient( new HttpClientHandler { Credentials = credCache});
var answer = httpClient.GetAsync(new Uri("http://request.Uri"));

Problem

Is there any built-in function to associate a digest authentication with an HttpRequestMessage in winrt ? Or do I have to use an other class in order to perfom this task ? Thanks.
