Has WebFetcher changed?

Hi

I am using WebFetcher to get pages from our intranet.
Before we installed 1.8.0, it worked fine. However,
now it is complaining of an authorization error.

The error I get is:

/tools/apps/ruby/ruby-1.8.0/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/webfetcher.rb:392:in
fetch_1_2': unreachable document http://mrs.mycompany.com:1234/scripts/isynch.dll?panel=TclScript&Command=RunReport 401 Authorization Required (WebFetcher::UnreachableDocumentError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/webfetcher.rb:370:intimes’
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/webfetcher.rb:370:in
fetch_1_2' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/webfetcher.rb:363:infetch’
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/webfetcher.rb:438:in
content' from ../lib/cypress/mrsreport.rb:44:infetch’

However, this works if I paste the URL into my browser.
I have tried adding basic authentication to the script with:

“Authorization=#{“BASIC+” + [“name:passwd”].pack(‘m’).strip}”

But, I still get the same error.

Any help would be appreciated.
