title: How to authenticate with Rest-client based on HttpClient and .net4
body: <p>Been elaborating a bit with HttpClient for building a rest client. But I can't figure out, nor find any examples on how to authenticate towards the server. Most likely I will use basic aut, but really any example would be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>In earlier versions (which has examples online) you did:</p>
  
  <pre><code>HttpClient client = new HttpClient("http://localhost:8080/ProductService/");
  client.TransportSettings.Credentials =
      new System.Net.NetworkCredential("admin", "admin");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However the <code>TransportSettings</code> property no longer exists in version 0.3.0.</p>
