There are two kinds of http authorization, basic and digest. Basic sends
a clear-text userid and password as part of the headers. Digest sends an
MD5 message digest of the password - it is newer and more secure.
At this point, REBOL only supports basic authentication. Apparently the
server you're connecting to doesn't downgrade to basic authentication
for security reasons.
You may be out of luck, Anton :(
