If the WWW-Authenticate header does not supply a realm then NSURLConnection
does not perform any authentication.

The linksys router have disabled the realm string being sent in their version
of the LightHTTPd code. I fixed the linksys issue by fixing the offending line
in their source and recompiling (LightHTTPd source is fine, Linksys have just
commented out lines in their version)

Both Firefox and IE work when a realm is not set (Even though this appears to
be against spec)

See: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt
[" The realm directive (case-insensitive) is required for all authentication
schemes that issue a challenge."]
