Package: python-feedparser Version: 4.1-7 Severity: normal Feedparser fails to authenticate itself to any server which requires basic authentication (and possibly digest as well).
This can be tested by running python interactively and entering the commands from http://feedparser.org/docs/http-authentication.html#example.auth.basic Going to the same URI which is used in that example, from a browser, and giving the listed username and password, works just fine so the problem isn't with the username and password lsited there being wrong. AFAICS, the authentication info is never actually send by a feedparser request.
