Hi all

[hey Robert, I know you ;)]

This was a pretty nasty bug, thanks for the discovery.  It actually
applied to all intercepts except zope.testbrowser so I added failing
tests and applied fixes to all (mostly it was just that the https
scheme wasn't getting registered).  I pushed them all out in a 0.3.3
release a few minutes ago.  You can grab the update with easy_install
-U wsgi_intercept, however, you will probably need to change your
imports ...

from twill import wsgi_intercept

changes to

import wsgi_intercept

Also, it's possible some subpackage paths have changed if you were
using the twill version.  See http://code.google.com/p/wsgi-intercept/
for working examples or let me know if you run into some
incompatibility.
