New issue 197 by haa...@gmail.com: couchdb-load does not work with username
and password: 'You are not a db or server admin.'
http://code.google.com/p/couchdb-python/issues/detail?id=197

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make a backup with couchdb-dump
2. Create a new database with Futon
3. Make sure you are not in admin-party, setup one or more admins
4. Issue the command "couchdb-load -u serveradminusername -p
serveradminpassword --input=backup20110530.bin
http://127.0.0.1:5984/databasename"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- I was expecting a list of document ids while the documents are being
loaded.
- I did get instead:

---- start output ----

---- end output ----

What version of the product are you using?
python-couchdb 0.6.1
couchdb 1.0.1-0ubuntu3

On what operating system?
MoonOs (ubuntu-based)

Please provide any additional information below.

I also tried the command "couchdb-load --input=backup20110530.bin
http://admin:pass...@127.0.0.1:5984/databasename

This gives me another error message:

Have you tried to update couchdb-python to at least 0.8 release? 0.6.1 was
released two years ago and mostly out of dated. One of major changes was
removing httplib2 from dependencies and support. Latest release should work
for you, but you should known about issue 176 and issue 194 to work around
those problems.
