[Mono-list] Problem connecting to a secure site via a NTLM authenticating proxy

[Steve Lessard]

You should try isolating the problem by removing .NET and Mono altogether. Try using curl to make the same connection. Curl has support for all types of proxy servers as well as good debugging capabilities. Using curl may help you gain more insight into how connections through the proxy work.
