HTTP Protocol Error

[Cahoon Tobias C GS-09 96 CG/SCTOA <to...@eglin.af.mil>]

I am in the midst of developing a VB.NET SOAP client. The problem I am
having is consuming the web service over HTTPS with BASIC authentication. My
client works fine over HTTP with BASIC authentication, and also works over
HTTPS without BASIC authentication. When I try to consume the web service
over HTTPS with BASIC authentication I get the following error:

	The underlying connection was closed: The server committed an HTTP
protocol violation.

The log follows:

 Authenticator[/solid]: Security checking request POST /solid/soap

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
