Graham Dumpleton reassigned MODPYTHON-27:
-----------------------------------------
Assign To: Graham Dumpleton
> mod_python.publisher authentication
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: MODPYTHON-27
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-27
> Project: mod_python
> Type: New Feature
> Components: publisher
> Versions: 3.1.4
> Reporter: Graham Dumpleton
> Assignee: Graham Dumpleton
> Priority: Minor
>
> The documentation for mod_python.publisher gives that more specific
> authentication
> check can be performed on a function by using code:
> def sensitive(req):
> def __auth__(req, user, password):
> if user == 'spam' and password == 'eggs':
> # let them in
> return 1
> else:
> # no access
> return 0
> # something involving sensitive information
> return 'sensitive information`
> Ie., authentication function can be nested inside the actual function.
> This only works for functions and not methods of a class. Thus, code could be
> enhanced
> to allow it to work for MethodType as well as FunctionType. Method that needs
> to be
> changed is process_auth() and it simply needs to track through im_func to get
> to the
> func_code member.
