git-cl: Problems with Rietveld authentication

[Heikki Tauriainen]

Hi,

I'm trying to submit a small patch for review by using the git-cl
scripts, trying to follow the instructions in the Contributor's guide.

However, running "git cl upload origin/master" just keeps failing for me
at the authentication phase with codereview.appspot.com – the script
only repeats "Invalid username or password" despite the fact that I am
able to log in to Rietveld (or to my Google account) via the web
interface using the exact same credentials.

Has anyone had this kind of problem before?  Is there something I could
do to try and debug it, or work around it?

(FWIW, the exception which leads the upload.py script to
output the "Invalid username or password" error message in the
AbstractRpcServer._Authenticate method contains the reason
"WebLoginRequired" in its "info" field, however first logging into
Rietveld via the web interface and only then running the script doesn't
help.  I've already tried also reinstalling and reconfiguring git-cl
without success.)

I'll attach the patch in case someone else is willing to open a new
issue for it on my behalf (I'll then add comments about the patch to
that issue), although this will likely make it impossible for me to
update the patch myself later even if I manage to get git-cl working...

Thanks,
