I have ported over some code from a Windows application to Monotouch.
It is using ASMX Web Services to talk to some API.
The code fails on Monotouch 5 because the method 

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.GetWriterForMessage()

is never called.

I have seen that in Mono you will even get a NotImplementedExeption but not in Monotouch. It simply gets ignored.

I need to find a way around this. I have to add custom headers to make the solution work.
Any workarounds or maybe is there even a chance that this will be fixed soon?
(I also filed a bug report, but I’m asking here because I am desperately looking for a workaround).

EDIT:
I found kind of a workaround but it is very annoying to use.
In the auto generated reference file you will have to decorate each and every method with

[SoapHeader( "SessionKeyHeader", Direction = System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHeaderDirection.InOut )]

Then implement the custom soap header class but skip the GetXmlWriter() method.
