I am trying to figure out a way of including the crendentials of the user
that the ASP worker process is using (impersonating) in an HTTP request to
my web site.

Basically I have anonymous access disabled (using just basic
authentication). In my asp.net code I make a web request to my own site
asking for some data (sort of like a web service request). The problem is
that the request fails when anonymous access is disabled.

The only user that has access to this site is the user that the ASP.NET WP
is running as (which I configured in IIS Service Manager). Is there a way
to programatically grab the credentials of this user and pass it along in my
request?

Thanks,
