[Bug 147613] boinc_cmd --lookup_account doesn't work

[Andreas Gustafsson]

Public bug reported:

When I try to obtain an authenticator for attaching to the Rosetta project using
boinc_cmd, instead of printing the authenticator, boinc_cmd just prints "retval: 0":

  $ boinc_cmd --lookup_account http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/ email at domain password
  retval: 0

If I observe the generated network traffic using "tcpdump -s 1500 -A",
I can see that an XML file containing the authenticator is in fact being
returned by HTTP from boinc.bakerlab.org; it's just not getting printed by
boinc_cmd.  If I cut and paste the authenticator from the tcpdump output
into the shell command line and run

  boinc_cmd --project_attach http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta
authenticator

(replacing "authenticator" with the actual hex string in the XML <authenticator>
tag), my machine successfully attaches to the project.
