base64.encodestring() always has a trailing newline:
>>> base64.encodestring("a")
'YQ==\n'
And indeed split with more newlines with long strings:
>>>
base64.encodestring("oheayhoeiaeoioiaoeiaozeiaozeiazeazeoaieaozieoazieoaeioazie")
'b2h ... \nZQ==\n'
Both the 2.6 and 2.7 documentation state that encodestring() is legacy
interface so we should just use base64.b64encode()

Title:
Basic auth fails for long usernames/passwords
Status in Python API for Jenkins:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The python base64 encoding adds a newline character every 76 chars.
However, HTTP basic authentication (at least as implemented by
Jenkins) does not accept newlines. This means that the API fails with
long username/passwords because it contains a '\n' in the middle (and
user receives a 403 error).
I have attached a patch that appears to fix this.
