wsimport throws Server redirected too many times (20)

Question

when trying to generate the client for an authenticated webservice, I'm getting:

    [ERROR] Server redirected too many  times (20),  "http://ip:port/WSDocumentum.asmx?WSDL" needs authorization, please provide authorization file with read access at C:\Users\user\.metro\auth or use -Xauthfile to give the authorization file and on each line provide authorization information using this format : http[s]://user:password@host:port//<url-path>

the command I'm running is:

wsimport -keep -p com.test.client http://ip:port/WSDocumentum.asmx?WSDL -Xauthfile C:\Users\user\.metro\auth

in then file that I created at "C:\Users\user\.metro\auth" I do have the user and password, I only had to change an @ for %40, and a # for a %23, is this right? or should I encode the user password in a different way?

this is the content of said file:

http://user%40:pass%23@ip:port/WSDocumentum.asmx?wsdl

what should i do? o what am i doing wrong? please anything would help :)
