thanks for the help. I now use 1.3beta5 running the server with twisted
without a dedicated server. And I'm using the BasicAuthTransport from as
shown in the scripts I mentioned.

I found that I had to apply the following patch to MoinMoin/request.py
to get it to work with twisted:

- --- C:\projects\moin-1.3beta5\MoinMoin\request.py	Fri Nov 12 22:15:38 2004
+++ C:\Programme\Python23\Lib\site-packages\MoinMoin\request.py	Wed Nov
17 22:07:28 2004

~         else:
~             self.query_string = ''
~         self.outputlist = []
- -        self.auth_username = None # TODO, see: self.twistd.user /
.password (http auth)
+        self.auth_username = self.twistd.getUser()
~         RequestBase.__init__(self, properties)
~         #print "request.RequestTwisted.__init__: received_headers=\n" +
str(self.twistd.received_headers)

basically, the auth_username was not set from the twisted request object
and therefore the user was still not trusted. anyway with this fix it
works now.

bye,

| There is sample code under MoinMoin/scripts/...
|
| You also may need to slightly modify the MoinMoin/wikirpc.py code as
| putpage is disabled by default for security reasons.
