Hello, I'm having kind of a strange error that I'm trying to track down. I was trying to setup mercurial on my home server this weekend. I seem to have it running up to the point where I'm trying to get repositories published correctly.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.4.3)
I followed the hgwebdir guide: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/HgWebDirStepByStep and everything seems to work great, I can pull and push my local repositories. Then I tried to add basic auth changing
ScriptAliasMatch ^/hg(.*) /var/hg/hgwebdir.cgi$1
<Directory "/var/hg">
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
to
ScriptAliasMatch ^/hg(.*) /var/hg/hgwebdir.cgi$1
<Directory "/var/hg">
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
AuthType Basic
AuthName hgwebdir
AuthUserFile /usr/local/etc/httpd/users
Require valid-user
</Directory>
This works exactly as I'd expect it to when I navigate to the directory via my web browser, but when I hg push get a long section repeating of
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 369, in _call_chain
result = func(*args)

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 843, in retry_http_basic_auth
return self.parent.open(req, timeout=req.timeout)
followed by

self.connect()
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/mercurial/url.py", line 273, in connect
keepalive.HTTPConnection.connect(self)

I'm a bit at a loss on this one. I'm really not sure why adding the authorization seems to work fine via my web browser but throw these errors from hg. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
