[Bug-wget] help on wget with IIS forms authentication

[Rajesh N]

Hi,

I need help on using wget with forms authentication.

I've a SharePoint site with forms authentication. The site has a web interface 
for processing data and downloading the generated reports from here. Clients 
would also like to download files using wget utility passing in the required 
parameters for processing data. 

I'm not clear how to authenticate clients who send requests through wget. One 
of the articles I referred suggested that wget doesn't support forms 
authentication. 
(http://dotnetslackers.com/ASP_NET/re-32648_Supporting_HTTP_Authentication_and_Forms_Authentication_in_a_Single_ASP_NET_Web_Site.aspx)

Since my sharepoint site is on forms authentication,I have to authenticate 
clients using their login credentials. How do I retrieve the userid/password 
sent by wget client and process that in IIS? How do I receive the request sent 
by wget?

Any sample with asp.net would be useful.

Regards

Rajesh
