Package: tla
Version: 1.0.6+1.1-candidate0-1
Severity: normal
This is just plain weird.
Anyway, I have an DAV directory with digest based authentication.
I had no problems creating or accessing DAV based archives with tla
1.0.6-3 (downgraded to double check).
With 1.0.6+1.1-candidate0-1, I had no problems accessing my existing
archive:
[email protected] http://user:password@hostname/arch/debian
apache said all requests where authenticated, too.
The problem came when using the "make-archive" command to create
a new archive:
tla make-archive [email protected]
http://user:password@hostname/arch/2004
The new tla complains:
webdav error: 401 Authorization required.
The apache log has:
==> /var/log/apache2/access.log <==

The old tla given exactly the same command line (hence exactly the same
password) and exactly the same apache environment worked; the apache log
was:

Is there anything else I can specify that would help debug this problem?
It would appear that the "make-archive" command is somehow currupting my
password.
