Hello, 

  I have a simple WCF service using basicHttpBinding using basic
authentication.  Everything works properly except I've noticed while
monitoring traffic that each time a message is sent - it's never sending
with the Authorization: Basic XXXXXXXXX header until the server requests it. 
So each request requires 2 messages, 1 which returns a 401 and one which
200.  So I have basically 2 times the traffic and 2 times the normal
warnings that I'm watching for on my firewall.  

  I understand that the first message should not send the authentication
credentials, however each message afterwards should.  This same code works
fine so long as I don't close the service on Windows, not sure if anyone
knows of a way to always have the WCF service send with credentials on each
request after the first?  I know on old asmx services you could use a
Preauthenticate = true property - not sure if something like this is
possible with Monotouch? 

Thanks.
