Fellow earthicans...
you may remember that I'm working on a refactoring of the
mentors.debian.net site. Currently there are many processes involved
which makes maintaining the whole application a bit confusing. So I
thought it would be great if uploads could be sent to the web
application directly through HTTP PUT. At least "dput" supports that and
it worked well when I tested that. I used these settings in my
~/.dput.cf:
[mentorstest]
fqdn = localhost:5000/upload
method = http
allow_unsigned_uploads = 0
run_dinstall = 0
progress_indicator = 2
login = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
incoming = .
However when I wanted to enforce authentication I encountered strange 15
seconds delays between the uploads of the files. It happens between
sending the DSC and the ORIG.TAR.GZ file and between the DIFF.GZ and the
DEB file but not between the ORIG.TAR.GZ and the DIFF.GZ file. Look at
my server log file (delays are marked as blank lines):

These delays do not occur if I do not enforce authentication. So it must
be something with the urllib2 and password handling probably. I know
Python but can't find the bug in /usr/share/dput/http.py. It would be
nice if someone could help find the cause.
I had mailed shorty and ross already but didn't get a reply yet. In fact
my mail to ross even returned:
