While trying to use the DataDirect Zap2it grabber in the latest cvs I get

****************************************

The wget is just a verbose line I added to show me what it was outputting
(and also the only change I made) and I took out my real username and
passwords. The problem is the 401 Unauthorized line I think. I am registered
at their web page and can log in and change my lineups. I can also use their
perl datadirect-parse.pl to get listings, but I can't get wget to logon
successfully. 

I have tried wget 1.9 and 1.9.1 with no luck. Any clues as to what I am
doing wrong?
