Bug #3459: HTTP Auth problem when trying to use external_nodes without webrick

Currently the way to access control dashboard is to put it behind HTTP
Authentication.
This is causing problems with external_nodes and also may be a problem with
reports.
An error I get back from running puppetd:
debug: Executing '/home/mpdehaan/dashboard/bin/external_node
localhost.members.linode.com'
err: Failed to find localhost.members.linode.com via exec: Execution of
'/home/mpdehaan/dashboard/bin/external_node localhost.members.linode.com'

I read the README and it mentions you can change the port by editing the
reporter code directly (config file is desired) though I don't see a way to
supply
a username+password or change the URL if it's not surfaced directly with
"/reports", which it wouldn't be in many cases.
This is why having an auth system that is not HTTP Auth is desirable (most
systems management apps typically have their own acct system because they'll
also need to keep track of groups/etc, also HTTP
Auth won't meet some user requirements)
