I used to have this workaround solution for triggering the web server to pop-up the HTTP Auth window

print '''<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://superhost.gr/data/files/%s">''' % file_requested

and i have tried to read the the login auth name that user entered by using

authuser = os.environ.get( 'REMOTE_USER', 'Άγνωστος' )

unfortunately it always failes to receive it that's why i'm trying to do the trick with the requests module.
