A Google search for "site:twistedmatrix.com basic http authentication"
turns up a number of useful links, but until Pyramid's back on its feet,
you've got to go cache-hunting.

Here's a few tidbits that'll probably help:

In Resource.render():
>>> request.setHeader('WWW-authenticate', 'basic realm=3D"foo"')

Wherever else:
>>> u =3D request.getUser()
>>> p =3D request.getPassword()

Hope this helps.
