Hi,

Using twill, a resource I am accessing requires a redirection for
authentication to another web server (a Shibboleth IdP FWIW).  The
redirection seems to go fine but showforms shows nothing (there should
be a login form), the info output also lists the title as null (even
though the login page sets a TITLE) and save_html results in an empty
file.  A twill-sh session shown below:

>> info

Page information:
        URL: https://identity.siriusit.co.uk:443/idp/Authn/UserPassword
        HTTP code: 200
        Content type: text/html (HTML)
        Page title: Null

current page: https://identity.siriusit.co.uk:443/idp/Authn/UserPassword

I've also tried setting the agent like so:

>> agent 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.14) Gecko/2009091010 Iceweasel/3.0.6 (Debian-3.0.6-3)'

No joy.

Any ideas?
