I have a protected directory, say http://example.com/protected
This has indexing enabled and people use it to download files and its 
protected by Basic Authentication

I would like to use WSGIScriptAlias to send any requests to 
/protected/python_file to /server/root/python/python_file.py  Which already 
exists in another conainter and services requests all day.  Ultimately what 
i'm trying to do is take advantage of the Basic Auth, but allow them (after 
authentication) to have access to python_file.py

I have tried this:
WSGIScriptAlias /protected/python_file /server/root/python/python_file.py, 
but this seems to return a 404, seemingly from WSGI b/c its different then 
apache's 404 page

If it call http://example.com/protected/python_file it gives me simply 
"Could not Find:", which i assume comes from WSGI, if i add .py 
(http://example.com/protected/python_file.py) i get apache's 404 page.  

Ultimately the question is, is this set up possible, both to have them 
authenticate and to execute a python file, via POST, that is not in the 
/protected/ directory.

Hope i explained that OK and thanks for any pointers.
