Comment 25 for bug 314507

@Blaine, Bugs about documentation are welcome too. You question was slightly misfiled; I've moved it and answered it. Winzip and Python can open tgz files. Perhaps for non-Ubuntu operating systems it would be best if easy_install worked.

The fix should be live soon. What I meant by passing the realm first was, in a single http request, to put the 'realm' parameter at the start of the Authentication header. Your client library might not let you control that though. In that case you just have to wait.
