[Bug-wget] HTTP Basic auth not working in 1.13.4

[rihad]

Hi, all. After upgrading the FreeBSD port 1.12_4 to 1.13.4_1 this 
command no longer works:

$ wget -O- --http-user=user --http-password=password 
http://example.com/file.php
--2012-01-03 17:52:03--  http://example.com/file.php
Resolving example.com... 10.0.0.1
Connecting to example.com|10.0.0.1|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 401 Unauthorized

adding -d flag to wget gives this:

wget -d -t1 -T5 -O- --http-user=user --http-password=password 
--cache=off http://example.com/file.php
Setting --tries (tries) to 1
Setting --timeout (timeout) to 5
Setting --output-document (outputdocument) to -
Setting --http-user (httpuser) to user
Setting --http-password (httppassword) to password
Setting --cache (cache) to off

Why is it failing? wget 1.12 never failed, and instead gave this:

HTTP request sent, awaiting response...

and got the response.
