Description

I attempted to follow the example in jchris's "My Couch Of Yours?" post (http://jchris.mfdz.com/code/2008/11/my_couch_or_yours__shareable_ap), pulling a copy of his Twitter client CouchApp from his server. Unfortunately the replication fails. In his reply to my mailing list post, Jan said "At the moment, replication does not fully work with authentication-enabled replication sources. But this is being worked on [...] I don't think we have an open JIRA ticket for this." So I'm filing a ticket for it.

The Replicator in the Futon interface doesn't show any errors, it just never stops the spinny progress indicator. But this immediately gets dumped to the log file:
