I seem to be having exactly the same problem from a Sony PRS-T1. But I'd rather not turn off Apache authorization. Any ideas?

I have followed the instructions in the Calibre manual to set up Apache reverse proxy to the Windoz calibre server. Basic auth is used in Apache. Everything works fine from another windows machine, or an iPad. I can browse the library and download OK. But with the Sony, my apache log looks like the one above... there's a 401 error on the GET of the epub. If I turn off basic authentication then it works from the Sony. Interestingly, the authentication works to allow browsing of the Calibre library. It's just the downloading of the epub that fails.

Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated. I love Calibre. This is the only wrinkle I've had with it. Happy New Year.
