Summary: SSPI and system account

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I've written a script to download some files via http
using curl and using sspi for authentication. This
works great as long as it is run under the security
context of a user.

However, when run under the system account context
(i.e. a group policy startup script), it no longer
seems authenticate properly.

Here is an excerpt from the IIS log.

curl --ntlm -u : <url> (run under user context)

Run under system account context with scripted Internet
Explorer or winhttp 5.1

So what is it supposed to do under "system context" ? I
thought the point would be that it gets the user + password
from the current user, and if there's no user what should it
do/use ?
