We're failing in sign_in getting the challenge string.  The server is refusing 
the 
request because there is no referer.  I can patch pf.py to add one 
(scratch.pageforest.com?).  But is the correct solution to not worry about the 
referer when retrieving "public" resources (like a challenge string).

Note that I can GET http://admin.scratch.pageforest.com/index.html w/o getting 
a 403 
from the server.

OK - I patched pf.py.  Johann, please review.  Note that pf get AND pf put were 
both 
broken.

In revision 848f688, I added a test command to perform a full roundtrip (pf put 
and
pf get) against an actual server.
