I've been struggling with authentication in TeamCity through the API lately. I can access the resources directly in my browser (http://usr:pw@teamcity:8111/httpAuth/app/rest/...), but doing so programmatically returns 401-Unauthorized. 

WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://user:pwd@teamcity:8111/httpAuth/app/rest/projects");
        request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Http.Get;
        try
        {
            request.Timeout = Timeout.Infinite;
             WebResponse response = request.GetResponse(); //Returns 401:Unauthorized

I can use guestAuth(http://teamcity:8111/guestAuth/app/rest/projects) without any problem, so there should not be any problem with the WebRequest itself.

Does anyone have an idea?

Try to add your credentials and then make request.it will be get what you need.

    var username = "abc";
    var password = "123";
    var encoded = System.Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-1").GetBytes(username + ":" + password));
    request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + encoded);
