I would like to point out that this is not going to work if someone visits more
than 5 sites with the same authentication manager. This would have to be
documentated, at least.
We could fix this by putting the retry counter in the HTTPPasswordMgr; it is
not hard

Yep you're right. In that thread they are talking about the exact same problem
as I was having. Obviously, I didn't find that one when I was looking for the
problem in the database before I posted this.
I do have my doubts about the 5 retries they prop
New submission from jurjen Bos :
If you use an authentication manager from urllib2, it will submit user code and
password if authentication fails.
However, if the password is wrong, the authentication manager will happily try
again, again with the same password.
A simple way to circumvent this
