You need to access the authentication headers.

Actually, it's perfectly possible to have URI credentials in the URL without a HTTP Authorization header. To pull those out, since the Request.Url property is a Uri object, you can access those details in the Uri.UserInfo property.

It seems that IIS is not passing UserInfo to HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.
