401 Unauthorized when Requesting MJPEG Stream

[CoderGuy]

Hi,

I am coding in C# .NET and am having a persistent problem accessing an mjpeg stream per the API documentation. I have seen the posts regarding the required use of digest authentication, and I have tried two separate implementations of digest auth (one with HttpWebRequest and manual auth handling, the other letting HttpClient handle the authentication) with the same result. I know basic auth is not an option anymore regardless of what the API documentation still says.

I am able to authenticate when making simple web requests (pan and tilt works, for example), but when I request an mjpeg stream with HttpWebRequest.GetResponseAsync() or HttpClient.GetStreamAsync(), I receive a "401 Unauthorized" error. Am I doing something wrong? Is the API documentation out of date?

My company would like to be able to deploy these IP cameras integrated with our equipment. I would appreciate any help with this problem.
