Bug Description
Launchpad cannot currently authenticate with Tracs that have the LP plugin installed. This is due to the XML-RPC transport being used for these connections having been changed to Urllib2Transport. With both the old and new transports the trac-auth cookie was being extracted from the response to the authentication request and then set manually on the XML-RPC transport.
It is much easier, however, to let Urllib2Transport's own CookieProcessor handle the cookies. Moreover, when the CookieProcessor handles the cookies, authentication works. When cookies are managed manually the cookie is lost and subsequent method calls fail.
