Re: [Bug-wget] Wget Question

[Michael Tarkowski]

I would like to thank everyone who has responded, a lot of good information was 
provided but unfortunately I still cannot connect with Wget and get the same 
error response.  The Tomcat server has othe Basic Auth pages and I can use Wget 
successfully with them but not the 1 page using digest auth.  Here is what I 
have tried without success.

- confirmed ID and password work from a browser.

- tried wrapping the ID and password in single quotes.

- tried using the --header option

- installed the latest version to eliminate the bug in earlier versions

- tried using curl -w -S -v -u admin:K0ny_2011Chrys1er --digest <URL_here>

I don't think so, since the bug relates to 'Version: 1.12-2.1' of wget.

Michael used 1.13.4, which is also in Debian SID. With that version, I can't 
reproduce the behaviour. The bug should be closed.
