Got you;
I see; so I have to configure Apache to pop the auth box and then pass
it to my web2py app.
Sorry I mis-understood what was supposed to happen.
I always was under the impression that if you visited a page that used
basic auth; it would force the borwser to pop a box for authentication.
But this concept is different.
This concept lets you pass user:[email protected] and provides auth based
on those values.
I need to do the former; so I guess I will revert back to Apache.
Thanks.

No. You neer get a box because that is for Apache basic auth.
If you do
if request.function == 'stream':
auth.settings.allow_basic_login = True
@auth.requires_login()
def stream():
stream = 'http://mystream...'
return dict(stream=stream)
you get the usual web2py login page. If username and password are
already in the URL (basic auth)
http://username:[email protected]:8000/..../stream
then you do not get prompted. You never get the popup. That is ugly.

Strange I tried that;
my controller is default.py
if request.function == 'stream':
auth.settings.allow_basic_login = True
def stream():
stream = 'http://mystream...'
return dict(stream=stream)
but when I visit
http://mydomain.com/stream
I get the stream url; I would have thought I would have got a Basic
Authentication box.
Perhaps I need to upgrade my version; I am running 1.95.1
