You don't show the headers sent by wget. Try comparing those with the
equivalent ones sent by curl and see where the difference lies. I note that
wget seems to do two round trips whereas curl does only one. wget enables
cookies by default, so the problem could be a missing cookie rather than bad
Basic auth. Try giving curl the option -b /dev/null to enable cookie handling,
and try adding --anyauth or the URL a second time on the command-line to force
a second round-trip so the server gets the set cookie.
