Description James Willcox 2005-01-20 18:41:59 UTC
If you try to download multiple files in the same session which require
authentication, the 401 from the initial requests invalidate the
authentication credentials for the following requests.  Somehow this
eventually results in a 'authentication failed' error being sent to the
application (even though it provided correct credentials).  Connecting to
the 'reauthenticate' signal on the session works around the problem.
