So far password manager was keeping authentication information so opening
new connection and creating new password manager made all saved authentication
information lost.
This commit separates password manager and password database to make it
possible to reuse saved authentication information.
This commit violates code checker because it adds add_password method (name
with underscore) to passwordmgr object to provide method required by urllib2.
The home of 'Abort' is 'error' not 'util' however, a lot of code seems to be
confused about that and gives all the credit to 'util' instead of the
hardworking 'error'. In a spirit of equity, we break the cycle of injustice and
give back to 'error' the respect it deserves. And screw that 'util' poser.
For great justice.
The factotum extension used mount and path entries which were too
generic. These have been replaced by mountpoint and executable
(respectively) to match existing conventions.
This patch contains support for Plan 9 from Bell Labs. A README is
provided in contrib/plan9 which describes the port in greater detail.
A new extension is also provided named factotum which permits the
factotum(4) authentication agent to provide credentials for HTTP
repositories. This extension is also applicable to other POSIX
platforms which make use of Plan 9 from User Space (aka plan9ports).
