I posted this authentication failure problem to the htdig mailing list
and got no response. Hopefully developers can have some ideas/solutions
on it.
Thanks!

Subject: [htdig] htdig fail 2



It seems htdig handles -u option not correct.

Today I found htdig failed to index a site which requires no
authentication. To narrow the problem, I set
start_url:              http://bpnet.cummins.com/
limit_urls_to:          ${start_url}

and rundig -vvvv gives:
        1:0:http://bpnet.cummins.com/

Here is the source of index.htm
<!-- body_default.htm -->

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>bpcity</TITLE>
<META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="NetObjects Fusion 3.0 for Windows">
<FRAMESET BORDER=0 FRAMESPACING=0 FRAMEBORDER=0 ROWS="*,12">

</HTML>

I can view this url without a problem from netscape browser.
By looking at rundig output, it seems like it tries and fails
at authentication. While using netscape browser, it doesn;'t
prompt for authentication at all and works just fine.

When I take a closer look at the rundig script, I found I 
have a -u xxxxx:xxxx option to htdig because this is my
generic rundig script that index the whole intranet and
some sites require this xxxxx:xxxx password...
After I take out -u xxxxx:xxx option from rundig script,
it can index this site without a problem. Now it seems to
me htdig may need to do another try if password failed
by the server.
