I haven't been able to get this to work yet. I tried using digest like this:

bzr branch 
http+pycurl://jeff:password@medea.sea.boeing.com/~jcunningham/docs

Then I changed back to basic authentication and tried both these ways:

bzr branch 
http+urllib://jeff:password@medea.sea.boeing.com/~jcunningham/docs

bzr branch http://jeff:password@medea.sea.boeing.com/~jcunningham/docs

For all three cases I got the following error message:

bzr: ERROR: Invalid http response for 
http://jeff:password@medea.sea.boeing.com/~jcunningham/docs/.bzr/branch-format: 
Unable to handle http code 400: expected 200 or 404 for full response.

[jeff:password stands for the correct username:password, of course, 
which I verified work in through a browser]

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
