Well, I tried making the request without the user:pwd and then with it
after I got the WWW-Authenticate header but I still got the same response.

I think I may try seeing what my browser is sending/receiving and compare
that to what libcurl is sending and receiving and see if I can work it out
from there.

Cheers,

Terry Stebbens.
