i ran into this bug because i was using a localshop server, which uses long tokens for the username and password. the output from the base64 encoding module will write newlines according to the spec (76 characters i think), and they were getting sent as part of the basic auth header thusly:
(wrapping defeats the example as usual, the newline is here ...2MzFl\nM2RkMmMxYjE=)
something wrong with this pull request?
@Cheryl Fillekes thanks =)
Hey this is great. It would be great if this fix were incorporated in an official release of setuptools...
ty sir
yay!
