[Bug 531758] Re: dput HTTP(S) auth fails with stack trace on 2.6.4-0ubuntu1 (karmic) and 0.9.5.1ubuntu1 (lucid)

[pdf]

I don't see this fix being committed upstream, and as this is only
affecting Ubuntu's Python version, and is still (!) broken in current
releases, I'd really appreciate having this patched in Ubuntu so we
don't have to keep maintaining a local copy.  Appears this is still
unpatched in all subsequent versions of dput in Ubuntu releases.
