Web Service - C# Client and Apache Server - Error HTTP 400 Bad Request

[EDN Admin]

Hello,
I write here because Im working to transport a PHP webservice client to C# (VS2010).
Project are in Framework4 but the web service was added in VS2010 like a web service compatible with Framework2 (Web Reference with WSDL).
Actually Im working only on a classical webservice (a Helloworld test).
With the client C# I have no problem I send a text to the web service and the web service return correctly the text. I have no error in Apache Server.

If I active the basic authentification in the .htaccess in apache server (host the webservice server), so in the client C# I have this error :
Exception : WebException <br/>
Bad Request with state HTTP 400 : Bad Request.

In Apache error log I see this line :

The code of C# Client are :

<div style="color:black; background-color:white
<pre><span style="color:green // We create the webservice
WebService mywebservice = <span style="color:blue new WebService();

<span style="color:green // We define BASIC Authentication
CredentialCache myCredentials = <span style="color:blue new CredentialCache();
NetworkCredential netCred = <span style="color:blue new NetworkCredential(<span style="color:#a31515 "User1", <span style="color:#a31515 "Pass1");
myCredentials.Add(<span style="color:blue new Uri(mywebservice.Url), <span style="color:#a31515 "Basic", netCred);
mywebservice.Credentials = myCredentials;

<span style="color:green // We define the UserAgent
mywebservice.UserAgent = <span style="color:#a31515 ".NET Framework";<span style="color:green <br/><br/>// We call the function of webservice<br/>string retour = mywebservice.bonjour("Tata");<br/><br/>// We show the return<br/>MessageBox.Show(retour, "Retour de lAPI", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
[/code]


With the client writing in PHP this working fine.<br/>
This is the PHP client webservice request working fine (for compare with C# client request XML) :

<div style="color:black; background-color:white

This is the .htaccess

<div style="color:black; background-color:white
<pre><span style="color:green # Dont show directory listings for URLs which map to a directory.
Options -Indexes

<span style="color:green # Se logue avec un compte AD
AuthType Basic
AuthBasicProvider ldap
AuthName <span style="color:#a31515 "Acces au webservice"
AuthLDAPURL ldap:<span style="color:green //127.0.0.1:389/ou=clients,dc=domaine,dc=com?mail
Require valid-user
[/code]

<br/>
<br/>

If I delete the .htaccess file everything its working.<br/>

Thank you very much for your help.
