Thanks a lot for reply. It is the problem.
And there is minor change in fff function needed
def fff(args):
raise HTTP(403, "HTTP 403: Not authenticated to access this URL.")
because if do not put args in fff(), it complains error
Now it works fine. Thanks a lot!
This forum is really useful and thanks all!
