[New-bugs-announce] [issue11153] urllib2 basic auth parser handle unquoted realm in WWW-Authenticate header

[Matthew M. Boedicker]

New submission from Matthew M. Boedicker <matthewm at boedicker.org>:

I am working with a web server that does not quote the realm in the WWW-Authenticate header.

This patch will make the realm parsing handle unquoted realm as well as some other invalid variations.

I tried doing it by modifying the regex only but could not get it to handle all cases.
