 checks for HTTP server response code and it is "401 Access Denied" 
 it asks password and user name and then resubmit request. 
 
 
 This sample features:  
  - SSL/PCT support 
  - NTLM Authentication (when IE 3.0 or above is installed) 
  - Basic Authentication 
  - Generating stadart user name/password UI to get user credentials. 
  - Getting user name and passwors without UI 
  - getting any document of any MIME type 
  - translation of Internet error codes to the extended error messeges 
  - ability to save remote object to a local file (when no local file 
 specify output goes to STDOUT). 
 
 Usage: 
   headdump.exe -h host [-o object] [-p proxy] [-u] [-s] [-?] [-f file] 
-h host is a HTTP server such as www.server.com  
-p proxy is optional proxy, in form: http://proxy:80 
-o object is optional document to GET, in form: /foobar.htm 
-u use this flag to bring user name and password UI (optional) 
-f save remote object as local file  (optional) 
-? get help 
-s use SSL (optional) 
 
 Samples: 
 To get help on command line parameters: 
C:> headdump.exe -? 
 
 Note that HeadDump can also invoke ISAPI dll or CGI like this: 
 C:> headdump.exe -s www.server.name -o /scripts/myisapi.dll  
 
 Since sample generates large output, you may want to pipe to more: 
 C:> headdump.exe -s www.server.name -o /scripts/myisapi.dll  | more 
 
 To save remote HTML object as file: 
C:> headdump.exe -s www.server.name -o /exe_files/foo.exe -f foo.exe
