I would like to thank everyone who has responded, a lot of good information was provided but unfortunately I still cannot connect with Wget and get the same error response. The Tomcat server has othe Basic Auth pages and I can use Wget successfully with them but not the 1 page using digest auth. Here is what I have tried without success.
- confirmed ID and password work from a browser. - tried wrapping the ID and password in single quotes. - tried using the --header option - installed the latest version to eliminate the bug in earlier versions - tried using curl -w -S -v -u admin:K0ny_2011Chrys1er --digest <URL_here> Regards, Michael Tarkowski Sales & Marketing Application Architecture Chrysler Group LLC Office: +01.248.838.4866 Mobile: +01.248.891.5097 Email: [email protected] Mobile Text: [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: Tim Ruehsen [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2012 3:14 AM To: [email protected]; Ray Satiro Cc: Michael Tarkowski Subject: Re: [Bug-wget] Wget Question Am Thursday 28 June 2012 schrieb Ray Satiro: > > From: Tim Ruehsen <[email protected]> > > > >To: [email protected] > >Cc: Michael Tarkowski <[email protected]> > >Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2012 4:43 AM > >Subject: Re: [Bug-wget] Wget Question > > > >Hi Michael, > > > >> I'm trying to use wget 1.13.4 from a command line to access a web > >> page using Digest Authentication and I keep getting HTTP/1.1 401 > >> Unauthorized > >> response.

Michael used 1.13.4, which is also in Debian SID. With that version, I can't reproduce the behaviour. The bug should be closed. Tim
