util: wrap lines with multi-byte characters correctly (issue2943) This re-introduces the unicode conversion what was lost in d320e70442a5 5 years ago and had the comment: To avoid corrupting multi-byte characters in line, we must wrap a Unicode string instead of a bytestring.

keyword: avoid x = a and b or c

match: remove unused assignment The field is assigned again below with the constructor argument.

http: explain why the host is passed to urllib2 password manager The original comment was in url.getauthinfo() and was lost in bf6156bab41b.

test-http: test http authentication The extension hack is based on Henrik Stuart's hg-textauth.

http: pass user to readauthforuri() (fix 4a43e23b8c55) urllib2 never handles URIs with credentials, we have to extract them and store them in the password manager before handing the stripped URI. Half of the changes deducing the username from the URI in 4a43e23b8c55 were incorrect. Instead, we retrieve the username from the password manager before passing to readauthforuri(). test-hgweb-auth.py was passing because the test itself was flawed: it was passing URIs with credentials to find_password(), which never happens.

http: strip credentials from urllib2 manager URIs (issue2885) urllib2 password manager does not strip credentials from URIs registered with add_password() and compare them with stripped URIs in find_password(). Remove credentials from URIs returned by util.url.authinfo(). It sometimes works when no port was specified as the URI host is registered too.
