Django HTTP digest
=========================

Support for HTTP authentication (as in RFC 2617) with Djagno Web Framework.

Unlike some other implementations, this one is not intended only for authorizing users, but as general view-protection backend, usable also for RESTful WS APIs in a simple manner:

    from django.http import HttpResponse
    from djangohttpdigest.decorators import protect_digest

    @protect_digest(realm='simple', username='username', password='password')
    def simpleprotected(request):
        return HttpResponse('')
        
Or, be more in real world and have Your access data stored in Models, already hashed:

    from django.http import HttpResponse
    from djangohttpdigest.decorators import protect_digest_model

    class ModelWithRealmSet(models.Model):
        realm = models.CharField(max_length=30)
        username = models.CharField(max_length=30)
        secret = models.CharField(max_length=50)

    @protect_digest_model(realm='simple',
          model=ModelWithRealmSet,
          realm_field='realm',
          username_field='username',
          secret_field='secret'
    )
    
    def modelprotected(request):
        return HttpResponse('')
