bash-2.03$ curl --version
curl 7.10.5 (sparc-sun-solaris2.8) libcurl/7.10.5 OpenSSL/0.9.7a zlib/1.1.3
with WWW-Curl 2.0 perl mod.

as you suggested, with command tool

curl -v -u user:pass http://protected-url -D header.out
The only thing in header.out is
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Server: atg.server.http.HttpServer
Content-Type: text/html

in the normal verbose output, only lines i see of importance may be the
following:

* About to connect() to server.com:20030
* Connected to server.com (10.x.x.x) port 20030
> GET /atg/dynamo/admin/performance.jhtml HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic a3F1YW46NFF1QG4=
User-Agent: curl/7.10.5 (sparc-sun-solaris2.8) libcurl/7.10.5 OpenSSL/0.9.7a
zlib/1.1.3
Host: server.com:20030
Pragma: no-cache
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, */*

< HTTP/1.0 200 OK
< Server: atg.server.http.HttpServer
< Content-Type: text/html

Turning on CURLOPT_VERBOSE to TRUE in perl, I get pretty much the same as
before

HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized
Server: atg.server.http.HttpServer
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Dynamo Admin Server"
Content-Type: text/html

I'm wondering is it because of my stupid with the following line.. I'm using
@ in p_at_ass to show as an example because my password has an @ sign.

$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_USERPWD, "user:p_at_ss");

If you set CURLOPT_VERBOSE true you'll get to see what headers libcurl sends
away, compare them to the ones the command line tool uses (with -v). Can you
see any differences?

Also, what libcurl version is this?
