The documentation does not make it clear that when the credentials from netrc are used, Requests authenticates with HTTP Basic Auth. I just spent ages trying to figure out why it wasn't working, and it was because although the credentials in the netrc were correct, the server actually required HTTP Digest Auth. Add a section in the authentication documentation to make it clear that HTTP Basic Auth is used.
