URLs with a username but without a password (http user@example.org) cause TypeError

[victorhooi]

I'm trying to make a GET request against the Flowdock Streaming API (https://www.flowdock.com/api/streaming). I'm using httpie 0.8.0.

I have the following which works in Curl (I've mangled the token starting with "51cd" slightly to sanitise it):

bash-3.2$ curl  https://51cdb547dsd12323sdfsf236de61bcb9121f8d2@stream.flowdock.com/flows/mycompany/victor_testflow

However, when I try with httpie, I get:

bash-3.2$ http GET  https://51cdb547dsd12323sdfsf236de61bcb9121f8d2@stream.flowdock.com/flows/mycompany/victor_testflow

http: error: TypeError: sequence item 1: expected string, NoneType found
bash-3.2$ http GET "https://51cdb547dsd12323sdfsf236de61bcb9121f8d2@stream.flowdock.com/flows/mycompany/victor_testflow"

http: error: TypeError: sequence item 1: expected string, NoneType found

Any thoughts?

It's a bug.

Minimal example:

$ http  --traceback username@example.org
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/httpie/HEAD/libexec/bin/http", line 8, in <module>
    load_entry_point('httpie==0.9.0-dev', 'console_scripts', 'http')()
  File "build/bdist.macosx-10.9-intel/egg/httpie/core.py", line 101, in main
  File "build/bdist.macosx-10.9-intel/egg/httpie/input.py", line 147, in parse_args
  File "build/bdist.macosx-10.9-intel/egg/httpie/input.py", line 219, in _process_auth
TypeError: sequence item 1: expected string or Unicode, NoneType found

The problem is that HTTPie doesn't expect username in the URL without password (here).

It should be fixed in current master. Let me know if it works for you:
