+Summary: HttpWebRequest with Basic Authentication (and, at least, the PUT verb) doesn't work
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what
+you are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Set up a web site to test against. Require Basic authentication. Set
+up a username/password that can access the web site.
+
+2. Run the attached test program, e.g.:
+
+ssltest --ssl:n --url:http://mytestsite/mydir --user:myuser --
+password:mypassword
+
+3. Compare results on Windows (with Microsoft libs) v. Suse92 (at least)
+with mono
+
+Actual Results:
+
+Works on Windows/MS; doesn't on Linux/Mono. On Windows/MS, you will
+probably get a 501 Not Implemented error since the program uses the PUT
+verb which your site will not likely be set up to accept. On Linux, you
+will get a 401 Unauthorized error.
+
+Expected Results:
+
+Should work identically on both.
+
+How often does this happen?
+
+Always
+
+Additional Information:
+
+If you run a TCP trace, you will see that the Windows/MS version will
+send the original request, get a 401 error and will then resend the
+request with the appropriate Basic authentication header. The mono
+version will not do this.
