Package: python-x2gobroker
Version: 0.0.2.3
Tags: patch

One of my users was getting their authentication failing when connecting 
to an x2go broker using the http plain backend.     Testing revealed 
that their password ended with a space which the web/plain module 
default code was automatically stripping off before passing through to 
the authservice.    The attached patch disables stripping for the 
password argument so passwords starting/ending with spaces are no longer 
incorrectly rejected.

Thanks
Jason
