1.4 Django HTTP authentication

Question

Starting in 1.5, you can do:

from django.contrib.auth.handlers.modwsgi import check_password

in your wsgi file for Apache HttpAuthentication. I am currently using 1.4, how would I do this?

Answer 1

As you can see here, this was a new feature of Django 1.5. You may check the source code / implementation of check_password and see how it is done and can perhaps recreate it for 1.4, but I would consider updating the project to 1.8 anyway...
