Does anyone has a small example which works with Mono and does authenticate against a webserver? Doesn't necessarily need to be PreAuthenticate, a 401/200 loop would be fine as well.
OK, I tracked down the issue a bit. Basic-Auth of course works with HTTP GET, I have working examples with that (thanks Chris). The issue is raised with HTTP POST and some weird HTTP/1.1 - 1.0 interaction.
Mono generates this: ---snip--- POST /RPC2 HTTP/1.1 ... Expect: 100-continue
<?xml version='1.0'?> <a></a> ---snap---
and my server reponds that: ---snip--- HTTP/1.0 401 Authorization Required www-authenticate: basic realm="SKYRiX" content-length: 0 ---snap---
which makes Mono "hang":
---snip---
END: SendRequestHeaders: System.Net.HttpWebRequest
nread == 0: may be the connection was closed?
System.Exception: Exception occured while sending request. ---> System.Net.WebException: The request timed out

I'm not yet sure what the intended behaviour is according to the HTTP/1.1 spec, but I guess as soon as I say that I'm HTTP/1.0, Mono should not continue doing 100-continue processing and at least should print a warning or something?
I _think_ (not sure) that I'm not doing anything illegal in my response, so I prefer blaming Mono ;-)
Anyway, in the meantime I'll try to add 100-continue processing (which obviously makes sense for protected resources ;-) to my HTTP implementation, maybe this makes the issue mood (at least for me, others will probably stumble over the issue as well ...)
