No, I do not have an example.

I do not think it is possible with VB; you'd need a custom web browser since
the web browser controls the TCP connection and what is sent over it.

This is why I say you should re-think your custom authentication scheme.

What you are doing is analogous to printing out the username/password on the
web page and asking the browser to enter it in the following login dialog
box -- except you're automatically entering it. This isn't authentication
unless you're using some other scheme to map username/password to this
public username/password, but in that case, you can do the same thing by
using cookies and changing the Anonymous User credentials in IIS

Thanks for your answer!
Do you have an example of sending the information as the "Authentication"
request header in VB?
