just a quick question please.

i try to test url connections using basic authentification.

I have declared as protected /usr/om70/Java/doc/baudry directory in an
apache server config. This directory
contains a file page.html . this file is correctly accesible via IE
after entering a user passwd

when starting the command with curl

$ curl -u baudry:philippe --url http://casper:8000/doc/baudry/page.html
-w @formatHttp

I have this response , as if i should not have specified the user/pass

So,

-u option is it effective on url tests in curl command ? ( as it seems
to be when reading your documentation)

In that case, have you an idea why the url request is rejected, even
with --user parameter values set, and how
to implement with curl this feature

best regards
