Dear reader I have been fighting this really simple problem for 12 straight hours now. I just really can't seem to gain access to the simple http authorization string from my view-functions.
e.g: "Basic bWF4bTpwYXNzd29yZA==" Here is my simple test function inside my views.py: def authenticate(request): if 'HTTP_AUTHORIZATION' in request.META: return HttpResponse(request.META['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION']) elif 'AUTHORIZATION' in request.META: return HttpResponse(request.META['AUTHORIZATION']) elif 'REMOTE_USER' in request.META: return HttpResponse(request.META['REMOTE_USER']) else: return HttpResponse(request) #Output is appended below All of these keys do not exist... and the complete request object does not contain the string either. Many experience this problem using apache+mod_wsgi because "WSGIPassAuthorization on" has to be set. However i am experiencing the problem both with the built-in-django- deleopment-server and apache+mod_wsgi+"WSGIPassAuthorization on". Client: Safari and CocoaRestClient - so i know the authentication get sent I would greatly appreciate any help in making an simple django example app, that prints out the basic_http_auth_string. Best wished Morten Pedersen The full request object print out like so: <WSGIRequest GET:<QueryDict: {}>, POST:<QueryDict: {}>, COOKIES:{'sessionid': '26efb99003df54f49b468faac87cf523'}, META:{'CONTENT_TYPE': 'text/plain', 'DOCUMENT_ROOT': '/var/www', 'GATEWAY_INTERFACE': 'CGI/1.1', 'HTTP_ACCEPT': '*/*', 'HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING': 'gzip, deflate', 'HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE': 'en-us', 'HTTP_CONNECTION': 'keep-alive', 'HTTP_COOKIE': 'sessionid=26efb99003df54f49b468faac87cf523', 'HTTP_HOST': '172.16.116.130', 'HTTP_USER_AGENT': 'CocoaRestClient/1 CFNetwork/454.9.8 Darwin/10.4.0 (i386) (MacBookPro5%2C5)', 'PATH_INFO': u'/auth/authenticate/', 'PATH_TRANSLATED': '/usr/local/rhk/var/rhkest/apache/django.wsgi/auth/ authenticate/', 'QUERY_STRING': '', 'REMOTE_ADDR': '172.16.116.1', 'REMOTE_PORT': '55399', 'REQUEST_METHOD': 'GET', 'REQUEST_URI': '/auth/authenticate/', 'SCRIPT_FILENAME': '/usr/local/rhk/var/rhkest/apache/django.wsgi', 'SCRIPT_NAME': u'', 'SERVER_ADDR': '172.16.116.130', 'SERVER_ADMIN': '(REMOVED)', 'SERVER_NAME': '172.16.116.130', 'SERVER_PORT': '80', 'SERVER_PROTOCOL': 'HTTP/1.1', 'SERVER_SIGNATURE': '<address>Apache/2.2.16 (Debian) Server at 172.16.116.130 Port 80</address>\n', 'SERVER_SOFTWARE': 'Apache/2.2.16 (Debian)', 'mod_wsgi.application_group': '(REMOVED)|', 'mod_wsgi.callable_object': 'application', 'mod_wsgi.handler_script': '', 'mod_wsgi.input_chunked': '0', 'mod_wsgi.listener_host': '', 'mod_wsgi.listener_port': '80', 'mod_wsgi.process_group': '(REMOVED)', 'mod_wsgi.request_handler': 'wsgi-script', 'mod_wsgi.script_reloading': '1', 'mod_wsgi.version': (3, 3), 'wsgi.errors': <mod_wsgi.Log object at 0xb8e7fb60>, 'wsgi.file_wrapper': <built-in method file_wrapper of mod_wsgi.Adapter object at 0xb6f0a770>, 'wsgi.input': <mod_wsgi.Input object at 0xb8e7fb38>, 'wsgi.multiprocess': True, 'wsgi.multithread': False, 'wsgi.run_once': False, 'wsgi.url_scheme': 'http', 'wsgi.version': (1, 1)}> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
