+Summary: HttpWebRequest can not handle WWW-Authenticate with POST
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+HttpWebRequest seems not to handle 401/WWW-Authenticate challange when used 
+with the POST method. When HttpWebRequest goes into the redirect mode after
+having set up the Authorization it hangs.
+
+From poking around in the code it seems as if the problem is that to put
+data into a post you use the GetRequestStream. Around that a lot of async
+magic is handled. One of the results seems to be that when doing a new
+round with the authentication in the header, there is no where to get the
+stream to put into the body any longer.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Find a website wich requires basic AUTH.
+2. Write a HttpWebRequest that uses POST and GetRequestStream
+
+Actual Results:
+The request hangs until it times out.
+
+Expected Results:
+The response from the webservice.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Allways. 
+
+There might also be some threading problems. When ading strace statements,
+it randomly hangs at other places...
+
+Additional Information:
+
+	HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create
+("http://localhost:8180/jmx-console/");
+        // Setup creds			
+	NetworkCredential  credentials= new NetworkCredential("admin","admin"); 
+	CredentialCache putCache = new CredentialCache(); 
+	putCache.Add(new Uri("http://localhost:8180/jmx-console/"), "Basic",
+credentials); 
+	req.Credentials = putCache;
+
+        // Set up POST
+        req.Method="POST";
+	Stream s = req.GetRequestStream ();
+	StreamWriter w = new StreamWriter(s);
+	w.Write("hello=ug");
+	w.Flush();
+	w.Close();
+        s.Close();
+
+        //Fetch and hang
+        HttpWebResponse res = (HttpWebResponse) req.GetResponse ();
