Hi;

At this point, I fire up wireshark and watch the protocol. You can't use
the browser. It sends the GET you're seeing and SchedulesDirect is expecting
a POST.

The 1st POST will be answered with a '401 Unauthorized' (which is correct.)

The 2nd POST will include your user name in clear text and your password
encrypted as well as the realm:

    Authorization: Digest username="yourPasswordHere", realm="TMSWebServiceRealm", ...

You're not getting bitten by a '@' in your username are you?
