You are trying to set this up to use HTTP BasicAuth authorization, but this
page is not using HTTP authorization.  You can recognize HTTP authorization
by the separate browser window that pops up to ask for your username and
password.

In this case, the username and password fields are just ordinary fields on
a form.  What you need to do is read the HTTP on that page, and figure out
how to send a URL containing values for those fields.  In this case, the
form data goes to
https://brokerjet.ecetra.com/at/welcome/loginaction.phtml, and you'll need
to encode 'login' and 'pwd' fields in the POST data.

However, that isn't the end of your trouble.  That page will almost
certainly send you a cookie, which you will need to send back with every
request.
