Authorization Required msg when useing curl to upload a file

I have an api for my site whick allows a user to upload a file for their account. In development, the following worked:

curl -u user:pasword mysite.com/api/sessionFile/ -X POST -F "File=@filename"

Since moving to Webfaction, the above produces this error message: Authorization Required

Is there an additional param needed in the curl statement?

Can you try the following: curl -u user:pasword --digest mysite.com/api/sessionFile/ -X POST -F "File=@filename"

If that fails, try: curl -u user:pasword --anyauth mysite.com/api/sessionFile/ -X POST -F "File=@filename"

If both fail, the password or username may be incorrect.

Thanks for the suggestion. Turns out my problem was with my apache config file. I'm using django piston and I forgot to add WSGIPassAuthorization On to the file.
