title: Able to GET authenticate but not POST authenticate
body: <p>I am trying to connect to a REST API, using C#.
  I was able to successfully do some GET request but POST kept giving me 401 Authentication error.</p>
  
  <p>I have gone ahead and downloaded fiddler and this is what my requests look like:</p>
  
  <p>GET (Works)</p>
  
  <p>Request Headers</p>
  
  <pre><code>GET https: //hello.myurl.com/api HTTP/1.1
  Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
  Accept: application/xml
  Authorization: Basic ***************************************************************************************************
  Host: hello.myurl.com
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>-</p>
  
  <p>POST (Doesn't work)</p>
  
  <p>Request Headers</p>
  
  <pre><code>POST https: //hello.myurl.com/api HTTP/1.1
  Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
  Accept: application/xml
  Authorization: Basic ***************************************************************************************************
  Host: hello.myurl.com
  Content-Length: 12
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Request Body</p>
  
  <pre><code>status=hello
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(<em>*</em> same in both using </p>
  
  <pre><code>String authinfo = "username:password";
  Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(authInfo));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas why?</p>
