Message50173
urllib2 redirects HTTP digest authorisation
credentials, which is never useful (because the
redirection will change the digest), and may cause a
400 error if for example the handler finds credentials
for an initial request, but fails to finds credentials
for a redirected request. In that case a stale
Authorization or Proxy-authorization header will get
returned to the server, causing a 400 error.
I've verified this makes the 400 go away for example in
the case where http://localhost/foo gets 301 redirected
to http://127.0.0.1/foo/ (i.e. with a slash on the
end), where I've only added username/password for
"localhost" and not "127.0.0.1".
The fix is trivial.
2.4 backport candidate.
