Hi gang, Per a short chat with exarkun (thanks exarkun), I'm posting this to the list for discussion.
A project upon which I am working requires a twisted.web service that allows a user to delegate authentication/authorization to a third party, e.g., Facebook, Twitter, et cetera. In so doing, I've found myself missing nevow.guard, since web.guard currently only has out-of-the-box support for HTTP Auth. I'd like to see web.guard expand to cover more kinds of auth, such as form-based auth or the OAuth-based solutions coming from so many social graph sites. With this in mind, I asked exarkun about this, and he mentioned that the only thing he does not consider to be garbage in nevow.guard is the feature-set, and that I should port the features to web, discarding the baggage. I'd like to solicit the list for some guidance as to what those features are, or should be, and hopefully end up with a ticket describing the features to be implemented, which I will then attempt to implement and contribute to twisted.web. Thanks, Daniel -- L.
