Whatever matches your authentication scheme :-)  For example, I just
did a wget to a URL that's password protected, and got, among others,
these headers back:

HTTP request sent, awaiting response...
  HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
  Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2010 22:25:11 GMT
  WWW-Authenticate: BASIC realm="Single Sign-On"

You could also use wget to see what your current setup returns, e.g.
`wget --no-check-certificate --server-response --spider https://example.com`

HTH,
