 we used 1.1
 4. PreAuthentication is supported (btw, i tested your test case with
 PreAuthenticate enabled under MS and it didn't send the header until
 they don't get a 401. We do send the auth. header now).
 
 Thanks you very much for reporting and for your patience ;-).

+OK, we are almost there :-) The code now correctly tries
+preauthentication, doesn't send the expect header for HTTP/1.0 and
+even the host header is fixed. Great!
+
+Now you submit:
+---snip---
+POST /RPC2 HTTP/1.0
+Content-Type: text/xml
+WWW-Authenticate: Basic aGVsZ2U6cnhyb290
+Content-Length: 30
+Connection: keep-alive
+Host: localhost:22022
+
+<?xml version='1.0'?>
+<a></a>
+---snap---
+
+Please: read the HTTP spec! "WWW-Authenticate" is a response header
+(for 401 responses), the proper request header is "Authorization".
+
+So you should submit:
+---snip---
+POST /RPC2 HTTP/1.0
+Content-Type: text/xml
+Authorization: Basic aGVsZ2U6cnhyb290
+Content-Length: 30
+Connection: keep-alive
+Host: localhost:22022
+
+<?xml version='1.0'?>
+<a></a>
+---snap---
+
+and I won't annoy you any longer :-)
