Re: [PATCH][v2] http authentication via prompts (with correct line lengths)

[Mike Gaffney <mr.gaffo@gmail.com>]

I was going to try and clean this up this weekend or early next week. I'm also
trying to encourage open source submissions at work and was using this
as an example patch to get people going (we need the fix to use git). So
I do plan finishing this, just have to do it when I have time.

Daniel, thanks for the link, I had been wondering what was introduced when in curl.
