patchwork authentication bug or local server misconfiguration?

[Carl-Daniel Hailfinger]

Hi,

I can retrieve patches just fine with pwclient, but updating the status
of any of them with pwclient fails because the server complains "No
authentication credentials given". That is obviously incorrect as can be
seen from the trace below.

pwclient is latest git, the server is not too far behind either.
~/.pwclientrc has the correct username and password, but the exact same
response is sent if I fill in a nonexisting username and wrong password.
Updating patch status via the web interface works fine.

So far, I either suspect a server misconfiguration or a patchwork bug.
I'll try to talk with our admin and find out.
If anybody has seen this before, I'd appreciate hints.
