I think you got 2 things mixed up, http authentication and encrypted http (https). Just having a https url does not mean you need to authenticate. Take 'https://mail.google.com' as an example. > If have to run this for a few different hosts and capture the realm. > For one host, it works perfectly, but when I try the same code to get the > next realm, it fails.

Therefor no exception is raised and you never print the headers.
