Domain credentials for a WebClient class don't work.

Question

I'm trying to get a html source of a website through C# code. When I access the site with windows authentication the following code works:

using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
            {
                client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
                using (Stream stream = client.OpenRead("http://intranet/"))
                using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
                {
                    MessageBox.Show(reader.ReadToEnd());
                }
            }

when I enter my domain credentials manually i get an "unauthenticated" message:

using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
            {
                NetworkCredential credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "pass", "domain");
                client.Credentials = credentials;
                using (Stream stream = client.OpenRead("http://intranet/"))
                using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
                {
                    MessageBox.Show(reader.ReadToEnd());
                }
            }

Why is it so?

Answer 1

Try this:

CredentialCache cc = new CredentialCache();
cc.Add(
    new Uri("http://intranet/"), 
    "NTLM", 
    new NetworkCredential("username", "pass", "domain"));
client.Credentials = cc;
