      this.password = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["password"];

    public IHttpWebRequest Create(string url)

    public IHttpWebRequest Create(Uri url)
    {
      HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(url);
      string base64String = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(this.username + ":" + this.password));
      request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + base64String);
      return (IHttpWebRequest) new HttpWebRequestAdapter(request);
