I’ve tested this and making the change from ANY to BASIC worked. Thanks for the help.

It no longer sends the initial post without auth.

My guess is that we configure the curl to support the full range of http auth methods.
Some of them like Digest require a challenge and realm etc so it's probably asking without auth header because it cannot create one until it gets that data.  In the case of Basic you can send the login and pass right away but it does not know in advance that it will be basic.

Here is a snippet from the libcurl api docs:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Both these options allow you to set multiple types (by ORing them together), to make libcurl pick the most secure one out of the types the server/proxy claims to support. This method does however add a round-trip since libcurl must first ask the server what it supports:

 curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH,  CURLAUTH_DIGEST|CURLAUTH_BASIC);

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So my guess is that if we set it to only support basic, then it would work how you expect so if you want to test it for me I can make it into a parameter.

edit: /usr/src/freeswitch.trunk/src/mod/xml_int/mod_xml_curl/mod_xml_curl.c line 220
change

curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);

to

curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);


If this works i'll think about exposing the auth methods so you can choose them in the config.

Are you using something other than apache?

The inconsistent POST request sent by the module causes freeswitch to hang for 1-2 minutes during start-up.
