using NEST (or another client) to run query on authenticated ES server

I searched the net for libraries which allow me to do queries against an authenticated (simple auth) and secure (https) endpoint, but the only solution I found was to implement the IConnection interface in NEST lib. Is there any other way to do it (out of the box)?

If you add the username and password to the URL, NEST will automatically add HTTP Basic auth headers to all requests.

For example:

var settings = new ConnectionSettings(new Uri("https://user:[email protected]"));

Shameless plug: I've also written a NEST guide that covers authentication as part of my company's hosted elasticsearch offering: http://support.facetflow.com/kb/getting-started/net-tutorial
