How do I get CGIHTTPServer to ask for user/pass
I just want to start a CGI HTTP Server in Python, that asks for user/pass. How can I do this?
The HTTP Basic authentication (with a browser popup box that asks for name/password) will be fine (and probably preferred).

Returning a status code of 401 and a WWW-Authenticate header will tell the browser to prompt the user for credentials. See RFC 2617 for details.
