Yes, that was it. I removed all authentication methods (except anonymous)
and it started passing the headers correctly.
I did this by selecting "Properties" on my "Default Web Site". Then I chose
"Directory Security" then "Edit" in the "Anonymous access and authentication
control." Then I unchecked the Basic and Integrated windows checkboxes. Then
restarted IIS. Worked great.
Thank you very much.
