Webservice callout using user and password

Hi,

I'm trying to connect to an external webservice to retrieve information.When I try to call this webservice from a SOAP Client I recieve the information, but when I call the same web service from SalesForce I'm receiving the following error:

18:34:11.83 (2083320833)|CALLOUT_RESPONSE|[208]|System.HttpResponse[Status=Error Interno del Servidor, StatusCode=500] 18:34:11.83 (2123598734)|EXCEPTION_THROWN|[61]|System.XmlException: ParseError at [row,col]:[116,206] Message: The element type "HR" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</HR>".

This is the code I'm currently using 
Blob headerValue = Blob.valueOf('user' +':' +'pass' );
 String authorizationHeader = 'Basic ' + EncodingUtil.base64Encode(headerValue); 
req.setHeader('Authorization', authorizationHeader); 
req.setMethod('POST');

I also would like to know how I'm suppose to use the WebServiceCallout.invoke (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_class_System_WebServiceCallout.htm) method with a user authentication.

Thanks,

Have a great day ahead,Let the Force be with you!
