[issue2885] HTTP Authentication problem

[Andre Lopes]

New submission from Andre Lopes <afsalopes at gmail.com>:

I'm getting an error trying to clone a project through HTTP, with 
authentication:
D:\developer\workspace>hg -y clone --noupdate --uncompressed 
http://xxxxx:yyyyyy@192.168.1.1:8000/project project
abort: http authorization required

I'm mercurial 1.9, python 2.6.6, on Windows 7 64 Bit.
Without the -y option i get the following output:
D:\developer\workspace>hg clone --noupdate --uncompressed 
http://xxxxx:yyyyyy@192.168.1.1:8000/project project
http authorization required
realm: Restricted
user:<user_input>
password:
requesting all changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
...
and the project gets cloned without problems, but the authentication details 
were already in the URL, so it shouldn't have asked for authentication 
information.

This problem affects the Eclipse plug-in MercurialEclipse, that does the 
HTTP authentication with the username and password passed on the URL.
