failed to generate challenge response: strings must be equal length

After changes between 0aa7703 and ed0b9fc I can't successfully connect to an xpra session via https. I'm prompted for the user password, but then dropped back to a login screen which shows the following message:

You were disconnected for the following reason:

failed to generate challenge response: strings must be equal length

Reinstalling [an rpm based off] 0aa7703 makes it work again.

Using openSUSE-Tumbleweed on both client/server and my startup command is:

xpra start --start=xterm \
  --bind-tcp=<my_ip>:10000 \
  --tcp-auth=sys \
  --ssl-cert=/etc/xpra/ssl-cert.pem \
  --ssl-key=/etc/xpra/ssl-cert.key \
  --ssl=on

The changes from #314 are disruptive, which is why I will be releasing xpra 6.2 soon to go with it.
I believe that the current release of xpra-html5 (16.2 at time of writing) should still work with any recent version of xpra - does it not?

Gotcha. I can see it being an incompatibility between ed0b9fc & Xpra-org/xpra@57777eda (which are the ones I'm using). I realize 0aa7703 isn't part of a release at this point - apologies if this issue is a bit pre-emptive.

All is good between 0aa7703 and Xpra-org/xpra@57777eda

I can double-check again later when changes in Xpra-org/xpra hit to support what #314 does 👍

Not at all, this is good to know and needs fixing.
I'm just ultra paranoid about breaking the stable repo releases, so I panicked a bit!
