Hi, Is there any way to send the authorisation information gotten by something like : ac = encodestring('%s:%s' % (username, password)) auth = 'Basic %s' % ac alongwith a RESPONSE.redirect('url') where url is a protected resource, so that the validation does not pop up a username/password box and uses the suth info provided.
