djangohttpdigest

If you're looking for a solid HTTP digest support plugin for Django 1.0, look no further than djangohttpdigest. This plugin stands out from other solutions that only authorize users, by functioning as a general view-protection backend that can also be used for RESTful WS APIs in a straightforward way.

The plugin facilitates simple view-protection using a decorator: from django.http import HttpResponse from djangohttpdigest.decorators import protect_digest @protect_digest(realm='simple', username='username', password='password') def simpleprotected(request): return HttpResponse('')

For users with access data already hashed and stored in Models, djangohttpdigest also provides a more realistic and secure option: 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('')

Overall, djangohttpdigest is a reliable and effective tool for implementing HTTP digest support in Django 1.0. Its robust features and flexible implementation make it ideal for securing both user-facing views and RESTful APIs.
