How to add custom Http Header for C# Web Service Client consuming Axis 1.4 Web service

I'm trying to write a web service client in c# which the webservice is Java Axis 1.4. Axis service requires the Authorization: Basic Base64EncodedToken header value in the HTTP Headers. I can't find a way to set this header in standart ways of consuming web services in visual studio.net, like normal WSDL generated refernce nor with WSE3.0

I can't use WCF as the project is developed using .net 2.0.

Is there any way to do this ?

If you want to send a custom HTTP Header (not a SOAP Header) then you need to use the HttpWebRequest class the code would look like:

HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
webRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization", token);

You cannot add HTTP headers using the visual studio generated proxy, which can be a real pain.
