Upon revisiting it, neither do I. You know when you read code and
think "what idiot wrote this" ... then "git blame" says it was you? I,
at least, know that feeling... and that's what reading that part of
that email was like.
Tom's right, of course. It's libpq-to-client. The string "fe_sendauth:
no password supplied" never goes over the wire; it's a response libpq
generates in response to an auth failure ErrorResponse message from
the server. It's only relevant for libpq-based clients.
Lets change it. PgAdmin-III will need a patch, but that's about the
only client I found that would care.
