HTTP Basic Authentication with wget

[Chandana De Silva]

Hello,

I am trying to access a web server with basic authentication using busybox wget on dd-wrt router, and it seems to be failing.

This what I am running:

/usr/bin/wget -O - http://user:password@webserver.com/somepath/

and this is what I see on the web server error log:

GET /somepath/ HTTP/1.1" 401 491 "-" "Wget"

Can someone help me please ?

Thanks
Chandana
