I have a tricky situation here with auth/redirection/cookies and I think I am messing something up with the handler.
I am trying to open a site http://foo.example.com which redirects (status 302) to https://bar.example.com/------------ where the dashes represent lots of subdirectories and parameters. This second site, bar.example.com, is the site which requires authorization (status 401). Upon authorization, the second site will give a cookie or two then redirect (status 302) to the original site which will then load because of the cookie. The problem is that when I run my code, I still get an HTTP 401 exception. Any help would be much appreciated. Code and traceback follows.
