This looks quite workable, Vincent. I installed the pycurl package and 
tried it and got this error response:

jcunningham at medea ~/junk $ bzr branch 
http+pycurl://jeff:passwd@medea.sea.boeing.com/~jcunningham/docs
bzr: ERROR: Invalid http response for 
http://jeff:passwd/.bzr/branch-format: Unable to handle http code 400: 
expected 200 or 404 for full response.
bash: @medea.sea.boeing.com/~jcunningham/docs: No such file or directory


Whereas, if I point a browser at

http://medea.sea.boeing.com/~jcunningham/docs

after authenticating via Digest it shows me the directory.
