Hi all,

I have a collection of simple-ish HTML pages generated by PTL
callables which seem to be working ok.  I'd like to add
username/password protection to a subset of these pages,
hopefully without changing them too much.

What are the "idiomatic" Quixotic ways of approaching this
task?

One way I guess is to make the "foo" URL and callable send
back a form with username/password widgets. The submit action
for the form could link to a separate "foo_seen_password" URL
and callable?

Can I use the HTTP authentication headers to make this
approach easier?

Any suggestions or pointers to existing examples much
appreciated.


Cheers,

Stu
