Hi Dean,

Ah, found it now, you ironed this out just before I joined!

I figured out one workaround -- save test.xml with Unix line-endings
(i.e. LF only). That way Python gets what it expects, and the C++ code
reading the file sees the same thing.

For the ones with no body, that's because my *Python* installation is
in Program Files, so both Python and the cpp-netlib source need to
live in a space-free path. Ugh. I'll reinstall Python.

Attached is a patch for the modified test.xml and adjusted
localhost_tests.cpp. Unfortunately, TortoiseSVN seems to have trouble
handling changes only in line endings, so whoever commits this may
need to alter test.xml manually to make it use Unix line-endings.

This seems like a nice thing to get in place, I have some more coming.
