#66 Modifications to work with new GALX cookie

[Anonymous]

It looks like recent changes to gmail authentication added a new cookie, GALX, that breaks libgmail login. Here's the slight modifications I made to the new login() function to deal with this change. libgmail is now working for me again! For ease of reference, I'll just post the new beginning of login(), from libgmail.py:
---
def login(self):
"""
"""
# TODO: Throw exception if we were instantiated with state?
if self.domain:
data_map = {'continue': URL_GMAIL,
'at' : 'null',
'service' : 'mail',
'Email': self.name,
'Passwd': self._pw,
}
else:
data_map = {'continue': URL_GMAIL,
'Email': self.name,
'Passwd': self._pw,
}

data = urllib.urlencode(data_map)
headers = {'Host': 'www.google.com',
'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Compatible; libgmail-python)'}

req = ClientCookie.Request(URL_LOGIN, data=data, headers=headers)
pageData = self._retrievePage(req)

# We need to re-fetch the page with the proper GALX value.
data_map['GALX'] = self.getCookie('GALX')
data = urllib.urlencode(data_map)
req = ClientCookie.Request(URL_LOGIN, data=data, headers=headers)
pageData = self._retrievePage(req)
---

Everything past this point is the same.
