Simple fix to resolve the newline encoded at the end of the basic auth string.
Symptom:
Cause:
As others have reported (e.g. here there's a problem with using the encode methods for Base64 encoding as they append a newline character, which results in an invalid header. This allegedly started to occur after a security fix made to Python.
Fix:
Replace the Base64 encode method with b64encode instead - this doesn't append a newline.
