Hi, I'm looking to service another application with a web2py service. A goal is connect to web2py and download a file via a webservice. I've managed to do this using urllib (on the desktop client) and by exposing a service.run in web2py. But the access to the service must be secure, so I'm wondering on the way to authenticate it.
On the client side: should / can urllib2 be used in this scenario (namely HTTPPassMgr)? On the web2py side: is there a standard way of exposing the run service? If there is a standard way I rather use it. Alternative, I would expose a custom login function through the service, return a temporary token and then use it in every call to exposed services. If there's no standard I wonder if any of you would suggest otherwise? I also wonder how an upload function exposed through this service would look like?
