ANN: Updated version of the httpauthfilter for CP2.2

[Sylvain Hellegouarch]

Hi folks,

Following a recent burst of interest in the httpauthfilter for CherryPy
2.2, I was offered a patch from Peter Russell in order to support hashed
passwords. This means that now you can store the md5 value of
'username:realm:password' on your server instead of their clear text
values. A great thank you to Peter :)

While applying the patch I also fixed some long term issues with the way
the filter was working with static content. Hopefully this time this
should be OK.

Anyway, if you are interested you can grab your copy there:

http://trac.defuze.org/browser/oss/httpauthfilter

You only need the httpauth.py and httpauthfilter.py modules but you can
look at test.py and example.py for use cases of the filter.

This has been tested against the latest CP 2.2.2rc2 branch that you can
find at http://www.cherrypy.org/browser/branches/cherrypy-2.x

I believe this should work nicely with CP2.2.x

Feel free to contact me if you still run into trouble and I'll see what
I can do.

Thanks,

However if someone should be thanked it's Robert ;)
But well I won't complain either.
