Uh, my mistake. The phone just wanted a more complete header. Now it asks
for a username and password as a response to the challenge by the plugin.
What is a bigger problem is to encode the username and password (maybe as
given in the Setup menu?) into base64. They should be combined like this:

	username:password

into one single string and then encoded. That's what the phone will send
as a response. Anyone have any links to a simple base64 implementation?
I've looked for one in the past, and I haven't found one. Writing one
isn't really that interesting. :)
