Thanks Vidyanand,
I can't get the method of sending the WWW-Authenticate header back to the client to work. I am curious of how you changed the GetWebRequest() method to send the correct headers. It does seem like the hard way to do it, but it sounds like the only way that works so far.
I posted a message to an MS forum to see if they had any answers as to why the .Net client won't send the auth headers. I'll let you know if anything comes out of it.
Thanks for your help,
RJ

If anyone could help me out with this it would be much appreciated!
Again, sorry if it is off topic.
Thanks!
