http: reuse authentication info after the first failed request (issue3567) [This was applied in 181108726ea5 but backed out again in af02783dea65 because of Python 2.4 issues. This edition and test-http.t works with Python 2.4.] Context: mercurial access to repository server with http access, and this server is protected by basic auth. Before patch: * mercurial try an anonymous access to server, server return 401 response and mercurial resend request with login / password information After patch: * mercurial try an anonymous access to server, server return 401 response. For all next requests, mercurial keep in memory this information (this server need basic auth information). This patch reduce the number of http access against mercurial server.

 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version
