There are couple problems with your snippet.
First, she's getting HEAD not GET requests, so you need to use different
handler.
Also, you aren't returning, so if you were in a GET request, it would proceed
to handle the request regardless.
Something more like this (untested):
class MainHandler(webapp.RequestHandler):
def head(self):
self.error(401)
def get(self):
if (self.request.headers['User-Agent'].startswith('curl'))
self.error(401)
return
# rest of the get handler
