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


of course not :-)

Why, not? It is always a good idea to start testing the simple things ;)


There was no shell escaping involved (username and password both matched
"[a-zA-Z0-9]*" and escaping would affect both access patterns the same way,
wouldn't it?)

Not necessarily. If the password would contain %20 for example, this would probably be interpreted as a space in
wget http://theUser:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/someURL,
but as %20 in
wget --http-user=theUser --http-passwd=thePass http://theHost/someURL


I have no more ideas. Currently sounds like a wget problem to me, too.
But I cannot imagine that wget should have such a big error.
(I just tried it here without problems)
Have you tried the same with other browsers?

You could google for problems with wget authentication. Maybe others have found similar problems.
