[Twisted-Python] How to do basic authentication on twisted web

Hi Colin,

Sorry, this snippet of code I wrote tracked the webguard.py example
that I linked to.

from twisted.cred.portal import IRealm, Portal

class SimpleRealm(object):
    """
    A realm which gives out L{GuardedResource} instances for authenticated
    users.
    """
    implements(IRealm)

    def requestAvatar(self, avatarId, mind, *interfaces):
        if resource.IResource in interfaces:
            return resource.IResource, GuardedResource(), lambda: None
        raise NotImplementedError()

Does that make sense now?

Ok, of course you can do that if you want. But you still need to be
able to *verify* credentials.

Anyway, to each their own.
