just fyi - I just fixed a bug that Gabriel and I discussed a bit in the channel.
The symptom - updatelayers doesn't do anything (no error, but no updated layers either). The cause - GeoServer no longer challenges REST API users with a 401 status on GET requests, *and* the HTTP library used in gsconfig.py does not present credentials unless challenged. I ended up going a bit "under the covers" to tell the library it's already logged in so it will always issue requests with the Basic Auth headers. There were some unrelated bugs in data upload that popped up about the same time by coincidence. These should be resolved shortly as well. -- David Winslow OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org/
