I am trying to use basic authentication header from my app. I see the header being passed from the device to the MDS server (this is on the simulator). However, the header does not get passed from the MDS server to the target web server. Any one has any ideas as to why this is the case?

Thanks

MDS by default proxies all authentication, including Basic authentication, on your behalf. So if your web server accepts, say, NTLM, MDS will actually begin an NTLM conversation on your behalf. Could this be related to what you are running into?

Also, have you tried turning on verbose HTTP logging in your MDS simulator? Sometimes that gives great information when tracking down stuff like this.
