What I do is:

This index page requires authentication and easy_install can indeed read the index page with the supplied credentials. It finds the correct download URL too, i.e.:
https://myhost.com/svn/somepackage#egg=SomePackage
It was my understanding that easy_install would reuse the credentials as specified for the index page URL, since both host and scheme are identical for the download and index page URLs. However downloading fails, with a 401 Authorization Required error.
As I said, it could very well be I'm doing something wrong here. Any hint is highly appreciated.
Is the download link a *relative* URL, or absolute? If it's absolute, the credentials won't be there.
