WHat if we want to change the realm dependent on the folder?

I.e. Is there a way to change this at run-time?

I'd love to know the answer to this one too :-)

The realm is currently an attribute of the RESPONSE object. There is a 'realm' class attribute which provides the default realm - you could either somehow change this as needed (which may be sort of hard, especially since unauthorized usually gets raised before user code ever gets run), or change the default class attribute. You could change the default class attribute by either: - hacking the code (bleah) - or maybe better, create a "product" in your lib/python/Products (say RealmHack). The product dir would only have an __init__.py file that looked like: import ZPublisher.HTTPResponse ZPublisher.HTTPResponse.HTTPResponse.realm='whatever' ...which would allow you change the default class attr without hacking the code itself. When your product gets imported (at startup time), your realm would be used. Note that wouldn't help with "per folder" realm changing. I'm open to suggestions on that. One way I suppose would be to subclass Folder and implement an extended version of __bobo_traverse__ that changed the realm upon traversal.
