You can access the headers using web.ctx.envrion. Your headers will be an item in the envrion dict prepended with "HTTP_" and converted to upper case. I'm not familiar with modpython_gateway.py and don't know if it will change this behavior.
example request (I've recently discovered requests, http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/index.html. It's awesome!) --------------------------------- import requests requests.get("http://127.0.0.1:8080/resource";, headers={"auth_token":"xxxxxxxxxxx"}) web.py code --------------------------- def GET(self): auth_token = web.ctx.environ["HTTP_AUTH_TOKEN"] On Feb 8, 6:22 am, mvl <marc.vanle...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I'am searching for a way to authenticate against the api that I have > written with web.py. > > I thought about something like a API-Key/Token that would be included > in the HTTP headers of the request. > > How can I get a specific HTTP-Header with web.py?
