 Hey there,

 Silverlight makes all network requests through the host browser's networking stack. This means that what the host browser supports, Silverlight supports. So, it's my assumption that your secnario would work fine :)

 There is a good article on how Silverlight networking works here: http://scorbs.com/2008/04/05/silverlight-http-networking-stack-part-1-site-of-origin-communication

Well what I was getting at is if Silverlight Supports making HTTP Requests and setting Basic Authentication Headers.

This functionality did not exist in 2.0

Please reference to this article.  Actually, RIA Services has provided the authentication mechanism, please take a look at this article.

Is there a way to use authentication as mentioned in the article via a J2EE web service ?
