Aha!
I just had to add this:
def test():
if request.env.http_authorization==None:
response.headers['WWW-Authenticate'] = 'Basic realm="%s"' %
(request.application)
response.status = 401
return 'hello'
code=request.env.http_authorization[6:]
dec=base64.b64decode(code)
All fixed, my mistake.
Cheers,
Clayton
