You're trying to send your credentials as HTTP authentication, which the website probably doesn't support. I haven't looked, but it probably uses aweb form to log in. Use your browser's inspector to observe what happens when you log in, and then automate that.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Yea, that was just one of the things I attempted. It is a web form, and I used a post, but get a 404 error when it posts to a url https://outofmilk.com/action which doesn't exist, and doesnt make it to 'http://outofmilk.com/ShoppingList.aspx?signin=1' which is where I'm trying to get to.
