Thanks, very useful.
The missing component was the WWW-Authenticate header in my response.
I've subclassed the Unauthorized http exception, added this header and
now can simply raise MyUnauthException(realm='myrealm'), return it as
a response and all is well in my - admittedly simple - app.
Next step... authkit I think.
