The easiest thing to do would be to rewrite mod_python's authentication handler as an auth provider for 2.1. You would want to make sure that the provider implements the get_realm_hash function.What I want is AuthDigest to decode the username, and password, and then to pass this onto my mod_python authenticationn scripts, without having to re-write the entire mod_auth_digest in Python.
That doesn't help for 2.0, but you can't do this type of layering in 2.0 anyway. -- justin
