I'm not 100% sure I understood your original message, but it sounds to
me like you're trying to use --http-user and --http-passwd to log into a
page that uses form-based authentication (where you type your username
and password into fields on the page), and not HTTP authentication
(where a dialog box usually pops up asking you for that information.
--http-user and --http-passwd are only meant for HTTP authentication.
For forms-based authentication, see:

Hope that helps.
