1. Fuddled API, Verbose Workaround January 2010

   I've started writing some Scala applications (including one atop the Lift web framework) to access Unfuddle's API recently. I've mainly been building daily burndown reports for my team at Treehouse Agency. I've run into a few issues with API methods not working as advertised, and Unfuddle's been pretty good about fixing most of them.

   The problem I've been experiencing as of January 5th is that Unfuddle has subtly broken authentication for client libraries that (wisely) wait for a 401 error with an accompanying WWW-Authenticate: Basic header before sending credentials. (Namely, Unfuddle's API stopped sending a WWW-Authenticate header altogether.) If need be, you can force most HTTP client libraries to send authentication on every request in one way or another, and that's what I had to do tonight with the excellent Databinder Dispatch library.

   I work for Tree House Agency here in NYC, and we gave out custom-printed Flip Minos (one per company) to our corporate partners as Christmas gifts.
