But wget also supports NTLM, so why go the way of using curl?

Specify the username user and password password on an HTTP server.
According to the type of the challenge, Wget will encode them using
either the "basic" (insecure), the "digest", or the Windows "NTLM"
authentication scheme.
This was from wget 1.11.4 on a Linux system. According to Wikipedia,
Wget 1.10 introduced NTLM support.

PS: I haven't tested how well the NTLM support in wget works.
I'm just replying based on the information in the man page.
