Thanks thomas, But im slightly confused here. To authenticate to my AXIS service(s) I have a handler sitting in the request flow, that returns a SOAP Fault in the SOAP response if user cannot be authenticated. The AxisFault generated in the Handler is rethrown as ServletException so a 500 server error is returned as well.
Can you not force the .NET to send basic auth 1st time round..surely u can? In my scenario, developers will know at design time that the service is password protected.

This (basic HTTP authentication) works here. .NET does not send the authorization info with the first attempt, but it sends it with the second attempt if the first attempt has been refused with HTTP error 401 and the correct challenge. It does the second attempt automatically, if the first one failed correctly. From then on, it sends the authorization always at the first attempt. This is normal HTTP client behavior AFAIK. Your are doing it correctly in your example, so it *should* work. Regards, Thomas > -----Original Message----- > From: Adam.Leggett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Freitag, 15.
