Summary: HTTP Authentication

Initial Comment:
This patch closes Feature Request #791319.

This patch adds HTTP Authentication support to the
Dibbler HTTP server. There are four new methods which
can be overloaded (by default, no authentifcation is
required) :

requestAuthentication()
getRealm()
isValidUser()
getCancelMessage()

This patch works against current CVS release and does
include the remote connections one. The configuration
page now show three new options : enable/disable HTTP
authentication, user name and user password.

This is based on Basic HTTP Authentication and not on
Digest (MD5) one which is more secure (but more
complicated to implement, particularily in such a
simple web server). I guess that HTTP Authentication
and Remote connections management souhld be enough to
prevent the vast majority of security issues.

The attached zip contains diff and py files.

P.S : it is easy to mix this patch with the remote
connections one

Romain,

Many thanks for the patch, but would it be possible for you
to resubmit it as a context diff?  Plain diffs are difficult to
apply once the source has changed in CVS.  You should be
able to produce a single-file context diff using this command:

cvs diff -c

in the top-level spambayes directory.  (If you're using
WinCVS, you can run that command via "Admin / Command
line")

Oops sorry, this patch DOES NOT include remote connections
one (nor the outlook express one).
