signal handling oddity

[Justin Johnson]

I overrode render as follows...  I know the self.send_response stuff is
wrong, and I'll have to replace it with something equivalent from
twisted.  My render method is getting called, but the authorization
header never appears, I believe because the server never challenges the
request, thus asking for username/password???  Do you know what needs to
be done to make this happen?

I appreciate your help.

	def render(self, request):
		headers = request.headers
		if headers.has_key("authorization"):
			print "has authorization key:", a["authorization"]
			real_auth = '%s:%s' % (config.adminUser, config.adminPassword)
			auth = a["authorization"]
			auth = auth.replace("Basic ","")
			decoded_auth = decodestring(auth)
			if not decoded_auth == real_auth:
				print "not authorized"
				self.send_response(401)
				self.end_headers()
			else:
				return xmlrpc.XMLRPC.render(self, request)
		else:
			return xmlrpc.XMLRPC.render(self, request)
