trouble serving static content within an included javascript libary

Howdy, I'm pretty much a django newbie and can't figure out how to resolve the following issue. I am hosting a local copy of the OpenLayers javascript library and it's associated static content including .png's and .css's. On my file system, the structure is: mapping/static/openlayers.js

newbie question regarding passwords and service requests

Howdy, This is a newbie question on best practices of web design and django. I have the following problem: Imagine my django app is wonderful and secure and uses the auth module and all that. I need to run some other web service provided by other developers in my company on another platform.
