Intolerance to malformed Basic authentication yields 'ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack' #185

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Run the attached program which hits a sandbox provided by readytalk.com.

I believe their Basic authorization challenge (401) violates RFC 2617.
Even if that's true, I think httplib2 should be more forgiving.

What is the expected output? 
Continued execution

What do you see instead?
Uncaught exception "ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack" which
while true is quite a red herring.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
