hgweb Odd-string length error

[Jérôme Godbout]

Hi,
I'm trying to setup a hgweb server with Apache 2.2 (32 bits) under Windows
7 (64bits). I got it to serve and can browse the file at
my http://build_server/hg/MainRepos properly. I can see the file, the
branch, the graph, the images are loading, etc. But I cannot
pull from the same address, I always end up with the following error:
"Odd-string length" into wireproto.py

Here's an example of error message with TortoiseHg (it's most verbatim then
the command line):

Apache was taken as binary install from the web site
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
I have try Python 2.7 64 bits and 32 bits with the same result
https://www.python.org/download/windows/
I have install mercurial 3.0.1 into Python with the python specific
installer: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Download

I'm starting with cgi script for now (want to move to wsgi or fcgi later
when got this working first). Here's my hgweb.cgi

As you can see into the config, I try to play with the encoding to see it
it was the problems (cp1252 vs utf-8), without any luck. My repos is in
windows default cp1252.

I'm a bit lost about what is giving this error!?! If anybody have an idea,
that would be apprciated, thanks,
Jerome Godbout
