None I can think of Ben - had a similar problem trying to debug an https
connection. The only thing I can think of is changing HTTP Agent in the
headers - it is the sort of thing that https sites do block. AFAIK - https
conections are completely wrap http connectionas within an ssl layer? If so
- then basic auth should not be affected in any way at all. Let us know if
you figure out a way to debug HTTPS connections :)
