Is there a way to get the IP address of the host that sent the GET, POST
or HEAD request that's currently being handled? Suppose I am doing an
application-direct URL that I want to restrict to only be callable from
a restricted set of hosts (like a subscription service), is there a way
to determine what host actually sent the request?

I'd love to see an example showing how to do basic authentication -- how
to protect a site by a "front door login", with TclHTTPD.

Being the newbie that I am, I forgot to call Httpd_Return once. The
caller just hung. It seems like a nice convenience feature to have
TclHTTPD call Httpd_Error if the handler didn't call anything. That way
the client could get a "page has no content" error or something similar.
Just an idea.
