I think the problem is that you aren't using POST, but GET. Try this:

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(auth); request.Method = "POST"; request.BeginGetRequestStream(RequestCallBack, request);

You aren't even doing anything with the request stream when you get it.

HttpWebRequest is assuming that the reason you tried to get it, was to write content to it (the only reason for getting it, after all).

Since you aren't allowed to include content in a GET request, it realises that the only thing you can do with that stream, is something that would violate the HTTP protocol. As a tool for using the HTTP protocol, it's its job to stop you making that mistake.

So it throws ProtocolViolationException.

Cut out the bit about the request stream - it's only for POST and PUT. Go straight to GetResponse() or BeginGetResponse() at that point.
