Your web server is rejecting your connection attempt, because you
haven't authenticated. If your client will only run on Windows
systems, you could try the patch below[1], which supports NTLM
authentication; otherwise, consider using client IP address, or some
application-level control, for authentication, as NTLM is a
proprietary Microsoft auth mechanism, and will block most client
platforms from being able to access your service.
