[wget-notify] [bug #20299] Basic authentication sent in all cases, before challenge is issued

[Micah Cowan]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #20299 (project wget):

Probably won't have time to do more thorough automated tests (though I did
implement a small one). Want to document some of the things that should be
tested, while it's still fairly fresh in my mind:

- Verify that wget always waits for a challenge before issuing creds, until
it has authenticated itself with a host.

- Verify that wget automatically issues creds with which it has already done
Basic auth.

- Verify that wget will acknowledge Digest challenges properly, on hosts that
had previously been Basic auth'd.

- Verify that wget will properly auth with specific user:pass@ URIs, on hosts
that had already been auth'd with global user/pass settings, and then return
to authenticating with the global settings on further URIs.

- Verify that wget will not carry user/pass settings across hosts (until they
also challenge).
