wget/spider issues...

[bruce]

hi...

i'm trying to do a test on a password site using wget.  looked in the
docs/online/etc.. and can't seem to use wget with a user/passwd combination.
has anyone managed to use wget with a login user/passwd combination to
access a passwd protected site.

given that i have access i should be able to get this to work. any
thoughts/suggestions. if you have real world actions/usage with wget, i'd be
interested in hearing your thoughts...

i'm using the following:
 -> wget www.foo.com --http-user=demo --http-passwd=demo -r

thanks
