[Bug-wget] Wget authorization failed with --spider option

[Avinash]

Hi ,

I am getting 'Authorization Failed' error on following URL with --spider
option.

whereas, it works and also downloads the file when I remove --spider
option.

My requirement is not to download it, but to read the server-response only.
Anybody any idea as to why it is happening ?
