 ## Features
 
 * Utility methods to call `GET`, `HEAD`, `POST`, `PUT`, `DELETE`, `CONNECT`, `OPTIONS`, `TRACE`, `PATCH` requests
 * Supports form parameters, file uploads and custom body entities
 * Supports gzip
-* Supports Basic Authentication natively
+* Supports Basic, Digest, Negotiate, NTLM Authentication natively
 * Customizable timeout
 * Customizable default headers for every request (DRY)
 * Automatic JSON parsing into a native object for JSON responses

-### Basic Authentication
+### Authentication
 
-Authenticating the request with basic authentication can be done by providing the `username` and `password` arguments:
+First, if you are using [Mashape][mashape-url]:
+```php
+// Mashape auth
+Unirest\Request::setMashapeKey('<mashape_key>');
+```
+
+Otherwise, passing a username, password *(optional)*, defaults to Basic Authentication:
+
+```php
+// basic auth
+Unirest\Request::auth('username', 'password');
+```
+
+The third parameter, which is a bitmask, will Unirest which HTTP authentication method(s) you want it to use for your proxy authentication.
+
+If more than one bit is set, Unirest *(at PHP's libcurl level)* will first query the site to see what authentication methods it supports and then pick the best one you allow it to use. *For some methods, this will induce an extra network round-trip.*
+
+**Supported Methods**
+
+| Method               | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
+| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `CURLAUTH_BASIC`     | HTTP Basic authentication. This is the default choice                                                                                                                                                           | 
+| `CURLAUTH_DIGEST`    | HTTP Digest authentication. as defined in [RFC 2617](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt)                                                                                                                       | 
+| `CURLAUTH_DIGEST_IE` | HTTP Digest authentication with an IE flavor. *The IE flavor is simply that libcurl will use a special "quirk" that IE is known to have used before version 7 and that some servers require the client to use.* | 
+| `CURLAUTH_NEGOTIATE` | HTTP Negotiate (SPNEGO) authentication. as defined in [RFC 4559](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4559.txt)                                                                                                           |
+| `CURLAUTH_NTLM`      | HTTP NTLM authentication. A proprietary protocol invented and used by Microsoft.                                                                                                                                |
+| `CURLAUTH_NTLM_WB`   | NTLM delegating to winbind helper. Authentication is performed by a separate binary application. *see [libcurl docs](http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH.html) for more info*                        | 
+| `CURLAUTH_ANY`       | This is a convenience macro that sets all bits and thus makes libcurl pick any it finds suitable. libcurl will automatically select the one it finds most secure.                                               |
+| `CURLAUTH_ANYSAFE`   | This is a convenience macro that sets all bits except Basic and thus makes libcurl pick any it finds suitable. libcurl will automatically select the one it finds most secure.                                  |
+| `CURLAUTH_ONLY`      | This is a meta symbol. OR this value together with a single specific auth value to force libcurl to probe for un-restricted auth and if not, only that single auth algorithm is acceptable.                     |
