Unrecognized requests with the Authorization header, yes. Without the header it's a failure with HTTP stastus 401.
--- Quote ---At the PXE boot menu, when I select an entry from the menu and press Enter, I need to see the response/error message before PXE returns to the menu (assuming a boot failure occures, which it does when trying an http boot). As it is, I see just the briefest flash of a message and then it is gone and the menu is active again.

Working as intended. You'd need a ONERROR command specified and COM32 module to pause the screen or try without the menu.

I get the ipxe boot screen and can Ctrl-b to break out of the endless loop (again, per the instructions). I have not gotten any further yet, still reading. I was hoping that it would run the 'default' menu by default but it looks like I have to do some more configuration to get to that point.

Just like gpxelinux.0/ipxelinux.0: add a script and possibly pxelinux.0. At that point, try the URL with username/password in the PXELINUX config.

@genec - Very useful information. I managed to get an http boot to work with ipxelinux.0, thanks. I'm still hoping to get it working with syslinux but now I have another option to fall back on for the present. All the tips were what I needed, thanks.
I'm presently trying to get a second NSLU2 I picked up upgraded to openwrt firmware. That should allow me to have the control needed to work with syslinux http booting. The reflashing went OK, but I could not get an IP address to the unit. I off to work on that now...
