[web2py] basic authorization

[Clayton]

Hi,

I created a controller function:

def test():
    return dict(x=1)

which I call as follows:

http://someuser:xy...@localhost:8080/myapp/default/test

from Chrome and also from C#. In both cases,
request.env.http_authorization is always None and I can find no trace
of xyzzy or someuser in the request object at all.

How do I get the username and password that was passed in?

Thanks,

Clayton
