Auth fail for private github repo about requests HOT 6 CLOSED

I'm going to have to play with this. #74 may fix the problem, once it is implemented.

Same problem here. From Wireshark,

requests.get('https://api.github.com', auth=('user', 'pass'))

seems to not send the HTTP authentication headers.

I'm going to get on this tonight.

It's because GitHub's api isn't asking for authentication.

Until I figure out a good method for overriding default HTTP behavior, you can do this:

Alright, a new ForcedHTTPBasicAuthenticationHandler was added, and it's default.

This should work fine now::

requests.get('https://api.github.com', auth=('user', 'pass'))

Thanks for writing this!

I just ran easy_install -U and now it seems to work, because I get a <Response 200> instead of the <Response 404>.

Of course when I tried to read from the response, I got a huge stream of gibberish, but I'll try to figure that out myself.
