LoginFailedError on 414 (UriTooLong) with AuthTokenAuthenticator

Summary

When using an AuthToken (configure_connection(password_method="auth_token", auth_token=auth_token)) authenticator and triggering an UriTooLong HTTP error (by retrieving many entities), the auththenticator raises a LoginFailedError even though the session token is still valid.

Expected Behavior

No error.

Actual Behavior

caosdb.exceptions.LoginFailedError: The authentication token is expired or you have been logged out otherwise. The auth_token authenticator cannot log in again. You must provide a new authentication token.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

>>> db.Info() # via any authentication method (e.g. plain password)
Connection to CaosDB with 3004 Records.
>>> auth_token = db.get_connection()._authenticator.auth_token # or generate a one-time token
>>> db.configure_connection(auth_token=auth_token)
>>> c = db.Container()
>>> c.extend([db.Record(id=i) for i in range(1000,5000)])
>>> c.retrieve()

This also affects c.delete()

Specifications

• =pylib 0.10.0 (but probably earlier versions are affected as well

Work-Around

• Split up the container into chunks before retrieval (unacceptable for most users/use-cases)
