I just learned otherwise by more carefully analyzing the history of the get task. For builds running on Sun JVMs with Ant versions prior to 1.6.3, authentication probably worked. These versions of Ant would try to use Sun's BASE64 encoder; beginning in 1.6.3 the get task's own (incorrectly implemented) encoder is used. Again, Ant 1.6.4 should be without this liability.
