'text/html', but expected 'text/xml'

'text/html', but expected 'text/xml'
I have written a PocketPC application that connects to a web service, and
when im connected via the cable or via wireless then it pulls back the data
correctly.

However when connected to GPRS, i get the following error

"Server found request content type to be 'text/html', but expected 'text/xml'"

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Someone previously suggested that its because it is returning too much data,
but i have tested it just returning one 4 character string, and it still
didnt work.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!

ok that makes sense, however the error only happens when doing it over GPRS,
so how can i simulate that?

Do you want to check the request to see what's sent? You can use the
TraceExtension as given here:

I have had a little play around, and ive found that with Windows
Authentication switched on, it doesnt work via GPRS, if i turn Win
Authentication off, then it works fine.

So does Windows Authentication wrap it in larger packets or something that
could be causing the problems?
