I have the following code:

WebClient client = new WebClient(); String un = "Username"; String pw = "Password"; client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(un,pw); client.DownloadFileCompleted += new AsyncCompletedEventHandler(downloadFileCompleted); client.DownloadFileAsync(new Uri(url), Config.LocalDir + @"\data\supportData.xml");

Using NetworkMonitor on the server I receive the following:

Http: Request, GET /audiClave/REST/en/actions Command: GET URI: /audiClave/REST/en/actions ProtocolVersion: HTTP/1.1 Host: 210.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080 Connection: Keep-Alive HeaderEnd: CRLF

No Authentication entry. What am I missing?

Try the old fashioned way:

string credentials = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(un + ":" + pw)); client.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.Authorization] = "Basic " + credentials;

IIRC WebClient doesn't send the Authorization request header until it gets a challenge from the server with 401.
