Problem with RE in AbstractBasicAu thHandler

Hi,

I was trying to use the HTTPBasicAuthHa ndler with an MS web server
requiring authentication (basic) but without success. I digged a bit
in the urllib2 module (python 2.3.4) and it turned out to be a problem
with the regular expression matching in the
AbstractBasicAu thHandler.http_ error_auth_reqe d() function. The
rx.match() cannot be used since it always matches from the beginning
of the string and the reply from my server had 2 more words in front
(Negotiate, NTLM, Basic realm="...").

The patch below fixes this by replacing match() with search():

=============== =============== =============== =============== ======

# XXX could be multiple headers
authreq = headers.get(aut hreq, None)
if authreq:

+ mo = AbstractBasicAu thHandler.rx.se arch(authreq)
if mo:
scheme, realm = mo.groups()
if scheme.lower() == 'basic':

Thanks,

Catalin

I'm having a problem on windows (both 2000 and XP) with a multi-threaded tkinter gui application. The problem appears to be a deadlock condition when a child thread pops up a Pmw dialog window in the context of a main window. The problem does not occur on HPUX or Linux. The following simple example code illustrates the problem and the work around I've come up with; However, I'd like, very much, to get rid of the kludgy work around....

I have a virtual function in a base class, which is then overwritten by a function of the same name in a publically derived class. When I call the function using a pointer to the derived class (ClassB* b; b->func(); ) the base-class function is called instead of the new function in the derived class. All other similar functions (virtual in the base class and overwritten in the the derived class) work fine, it's just this one function. ...
