here is a python script I use to force the error: import base64, httplib
base64string = base64.encodestring('%s:%s' % ("<uname>", "<password>"))[:-1] headers = { "Authorization" : "Basic %s" % base64string } while 1: conn = httplib.HTTPSConnection("<host>") conn.request("GET", "/dist/test.txt", headers=headers) response = conn.getresponse() try: if response.status != 200: print response.getheaders(), response.read() break else: print "OK" finally: conn.close() hope it helps -- ssl "error reading the headers" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/595116 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
