When using HttpWebRequest with an 'https' address, does it automatically
encrypt the data being sent or are there additional steps that need to be
taken?

Yes, it does still encrypt the data being sent via the SSL pipe and you
need to associate a NetworkCredential to your
HttpWebRequest.Credentials property that has a valid UserName and
Password defined.

The latter is only necessary for HTTP Authentication.

Yup...no arguments there.  Jumped to the conclusion that he would
require authentication.

My bad.
