Title: Problems communicating with digest authorization

I have a gateway node that has turned on digest authorization and I'm having problems retrieving a file from the nodes web server now. I have run the configure script to create wget with the --enable-digest option. I was expecting to see the Basic authorization used initially (as seen below) but that a 401 error would be returned instead of a 403. From reading the RFC I was under the impression that the node would return a 401 error with the parameters needed to encrypt the password (realm, some key, etc).

I'm hoping there is a simple explaination as to why this is not working. I have tried to run curl to the same node and it does perform the negotiation correctly. Are there known issues with wget and digest?
