cURL with user authentication in C#

HTTP Basic authentication requies everything after "Basic " to be Base64-encoded, so try

request.Headers["Authorization"] = "Basic " + 
    Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(authInfo));

The solution to my question was changing the ContentType property. If I change the ContentType to

request.ContentType = "text/xml";

the request works in both cases, if I also convert the authInfo to a Base64String in the last example like Anton Gogolev suggested.

Using:

request.ContentType = "application/xml";

request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(GEOSERVER_USER, GEOSERVER_PASSWD);

also works. The second sets authentication information.
