My guess is that the argument "auth" passed to validate() has some trailing characters. Either that, or WebWhacker passed just "Basic " as an auth string.

Yuk, that sounds like a Zope bug. Collector time with patch? A judicious string.strip should solve the problem, surely?

Maybe log the auth argument and re-whack your site. (Warning... this is certainly a nasty security hole. Be sure to get rid of the logging afterwards.)

I didn't whack my site, I just got mailed the error... Okay, own up, who tried to WebWhack the list archives?! ;-) cheers, Chris
