It was failing to log in to a page protected by @login_required, using the login() method. My path for the login method is '/video/+sub/'. The login() method was returning False, signifying login not possible, even though the username and password were correct. The reason for the login() failure is that the URL '/video/+sub/' becomes urlencoded as '/video/%2Bsub/' in the redirect to the login form, and the resulting redirect fails. (Why?) Workarounds are: * use a url without a '+' (not optimal in my application) * call login() on a different page first, then get() on my page with '+' in the url * Perhaps the handling of the urlencoded value is failing when it should succeed? That's beyond my current debugging experience. * change client.py as in the attached patch - a one line change to use the non-urlencoded value in ''path'' instead of the value passed through in ''next''.
