I haven't written a generic web server. It's just been too easy to put together single-purpose web applications. Two of my IRC bots have web interfaces: http://sf.net/projects/memephage http://sf.net/projects/pastebot Memephage includes something like this interesting bit of code. If you ever need to implement basic authentication, here's how: my ($login, $password) = $request->authorization_basic(); $login = "" unless defined $login; $password = "" unless defined $password; unless (valid_password($login, $password)) { my $response = new HTTP::Response(401); $response->push_header('WWW-Authenticate', 'Basic realm="memephage"'); $response->push_header('Server', 'memephage/1.0'); $response->push_header('Content-Type', 'text/html'); $response->content("You aren't allowed in."); $heap->{wheel}->put($response); return; } Everything beyond that block of code will be password protected. -- Rocco Caputo / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / poe.perl.org / poe.sf.net
