I had a similar problem one time - the server didn't understand when I
sent the authentication *before* it had demanded it. I had to send a
request for the page, then re-send the exact same request with "-U
userid:passwd".

I think what broke on the server side was that it wanted to give me a
cookie first, *then* do the authentication, *then* exchange more
cookies. The first thing my script did was delete the cookie file so
there would be no lingering session info to mess things up.
