Summary:                    wget authentication error
Description: 
Looks like the HTTP authentication code is broken. When updating a dyndns
dynamic host, wget fails with the following error message:

badauthwget: error getting response: Bad file descriptor

This works fine in busybox 1.2.1.

URL Example (replace user, password myhost.dyndns.org and 127.0.0.1 with
valid values):

wget -qO -
http://user:password@members.dyndns.org/nic/update/?system=dyndns\&hostname=myhost.dyndns.org\&myip=127.0.0.1

It seems that bb_uuencode is badly broken and is corrupting the host_info
structure when the authentication user is uuencoded.

Replacing the bb_uuencode call by the old base64enc code (see wget.c in
busybox 1.2.1) solves the problem.

Will investigate further what's going on, but thought this info is worth
being known before the bug is assigned.
