It may be related to #4784. The issue is that it's not possible (no API) to read the iOS proxy passwords. So such cases won't work with .NET API. You need to use the iOS API (NSUrl...) to be have it work "automagically". Once we move to the .NET 4.x API (rebase MT on top of Mono 3.0) we want to provide an HttpClient implementation on top of NSUrl* that would solve this issue.
