Doesn't seem to work with pip #1

I'd like to use pip's requirements.txt support to build a list of files and then install some of them from a ClueReleaseManager install behind a password.

However, running

pip install -i http://user:password@pypi.example.com/ package

doesn't work. pip won't find the package.

As far as I can tell it looks like pip is trying the url http://user:password@pypi.example.com/package which redirects to http://user:password@pypi.example.com/d/package and that page just returns a 500 error instead the package information.
