BTW, the redesigned FOP will make things like that easier. You will have the ability to plug in a URIResolver to manually fetch an InputStream to a resource based on a URI. This will make work-arounds like David's servlet unnecessary.
On the other side it's strange that wget is able to get the image with the uid/pwd encoded in the URL and FOP is not. Maybe FOP 0.20.5 does something bad with the URL. It would be great if someone could check this case with FOP Trunk so we can fix any problems like that for the next release.
