So, you're saying that you've never seen it work, on a browser, command-line

make sure your login is actually enabled and find out how that can be tested.

Yes, curl automatically base64 encodes the username and password, as required
by standard HTTP Basic authentication.

It doesn't sound like a curl problem. You need to find out exactly what
the server is expecting. Ask if there's a test account you can use.
