Are there any special chars in theUser and/or thePass that could possibly escaped in the URL and/or by the shell?
E.g. Umlauts, Whitespace, %, ...

Or are you really literally writing
wget http://theUser:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/someURL
?

I don't know off the top of my head, but you could (temporarily) enable
RequestDumperValve and compare the two requests.


There is one indeed interesting difference, both requests end up with a
different (each one is reproducable) auth string:

INFO:             header=authorization=Basic ******F0OjE1c***emxl
INFO:             header=authorization=Basic ******VyOjI3Y***ZQ==

("******" and "***" is manual masking)

Am I right to assume wget to be the culprit?
