That's what you can do with the main Galaxy site. Not sure if that's
intentional though. You can try

wget --no-check-certificate
https://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/datasets/851fbe5b7ff576a6/display?to_ext=tabular

See if you can download my own dataset without providing any credential.

We don't use Apache for authentication. Thus use_remote_user = False. Will
read more about this remote user thing.
