从受密码保护的Http目录播放音频文件

Question

I'm working on a little mobile application in Xamarin, i'm using XamarinMediaManager to play audio files from a URL using CrossMediaManager.Current.Play() which takes a string as URL. If i set up a name and a password on the directory that includes the MP3 is there a way for me to include the credentials and play it?

I could successfully access the password protected directory if i use an HttpWebResponse and set the credentials but i can't seem to find a way to pass that on to the CrossMediaManager

Thank you for the help in advance

To solve this problem i followed the recommendation that @Cheesebaron gave me and set an Authorization header to RequestHeaders on CrossMediaManager. Here's the exact lines i used

string svcCredentials = Convert.ToBase64String(ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes("username" + ":" + "password")); 
CrossMediaManager.Current.RequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + svcCredentials);
