By "form based authentication" I assume you mean that you enter your credentials in a web form, after which the browser session is authenticated? In that case, the authentication information is really carried by the cookie. To get Wget to send it, specify `--load-cookies' on the cookie file exported by the browser, such as Mozilla's "cookies.txt". This is explained in the manual under the `--load-cookies' option.
