System.Net.CredentialCache supports Digest Auth

In my last post I talked about implementing Digest Authentication in WebAPI. That was a server side implementation, but how do you make requests to that server? Good news: .NET's built in CredentialCache supports Digest Authentication!

PreAuthenticate

Be sure to enable PreAuthenticate, otherwise each request will require a new digest token have to make an additional two requests to get it! Do not worry, the request will not send your credentials without having a token first.

PreAuthenticate = false

PreAuthenticate = true
