Using bzr 1.7rc1 (Windows installer bundle) on Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3.

I've a project that I am working on for a client and using bzr for, and I uploaded it to the client's Web server (https with basic HTTP authentication). When the client (who uses Windows) attempted to do a bzr branch on it, he was greeted with the "necessary data rewind wasn't possible" error, which appears to have originated from bzr's use of pycurl. Using https+urllib:// for the protocol designation in the branch operation works.

I was able to confirm this on a second XP Pro SP3 machine, as well.

The operation succeeds on an Ubuntu 8.04 machine running bzr 1.7rc1 as well as 1.6.1 so it appears to be specific to the combination of Windows and pycurl.
