Are you putting your real username and password in here?
Also, don't know if it makes a difference - but I normally put the authorization
header just before the content type.
If you're running Firefox, you can get the Live HTTP Headers extension for it.
Print out your header and compare it to what you get when you try to access the
page with Firefox. You should be able to see what the difference is.
