Details:
Hello,
a forwarded Debian bug report from http://bugs.debian.org/701032
--8<--
* What led up to the situation?
i built a simple webserver with pythons BaseHTTPServer, which
requires a basic http auth. the server answers in http 1.0 and
sends no Connection: keep-alive header.
Now i tried to test it with wget, which sent at first (even though
i gave it user and password) no auth-string, probably to test which
auth-scheme is used.
the server sent a 401 with the WWW-Authenticate: Basic header, and NOW
wget tried to reuse the connection, which is already closed, and
should not have been reused, because there was no Content-length
header, there was no Keep-alive header AND it was http 1.0, but it
did, and the request failed. even though the server didn't do
anything wrong.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
i expected one connection per request which would have worked. i
didn't expect to read 'reusing existing connection' if there was
known to be no keep-alive

I requested a --debug output but didn't get an answer.
Thank you.
