OK, after some trial and error I found that using
ServicePointManager.CertificatePolicy = new Trusts (); where Trusts
implements a validator seems to work. This is obsolete as of .NET 2.0
however and has been replaced with a callback mechanism. Unfortunately
that fails and keeps throwing authentication errors. Putting pragma
statements around the call solved it for now as I can access and
request all necessary information.

Thanks for the tip!
