If the netrc have backslash char "\" it doesn't work with "wget"
but the same netrc file works with "curl -n"
   
- For example if the netrc password have a backslash on it the wget will return:
  Username/Password Authentication Failed.
   
- The same password with the backslash works if the it is typed on the stdin with:
  wget uri --user=username --ask-password
   
commit 2b2fd2924aa9eac8c831380196a13c427f6b4329, introduce quotation mark
support and after that wget will remove the backslash char in every token on the netrc. The backslash can be removed but only when the presence of the quotation mark is detected.
