Hi Jorey, I do appreciate the help and tips you have given me. The "authenthandler()" was a typo - the handler in AuthenHandler.py is in fact "authenhandler()". Sorry about that. I've posted a small subset of the files that I'm working on that produces the uhm.."error" (btw. my development platform is OS X Client 10.3.5, Apache/2.0.51 - mod_python 3.1.3 - OS X provided Python2.3) : httpd.conf: """ <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName lucene.moonspawn.scanmine.com ServerAdmin rune.hansen at scanmine.com DocumentRoot /Users/roderik/Sites/Lucene ErrorLog logs/lucene_error.log CustomLog logs/lucene_access.log common </VirtualHost> <Directory "/Users/roderik/Sites/Lucene"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule search.html "SearchHandler.py/search" AddHandler mod_python .py DirectoryIndex SearchHandler.py PythonHandler mod_python.publisher PythonAuthenHandler AuthenHandler AuthType Basic AuthName "Restricted Area" require valid-user PythonPath "sys.path+['/Users/roderik/Sites/Lucene']" PythonDebug On </Directory> """ AuthenHandler.py """ from mod_python import apache count=0 def authenhandler(req,**args): global count count +=1 req.write("AuthenHandler::authenhandler called: "+str(count)+"\n") pw = req.get_basic_auth_pw() user = req.user if user == "mrX" and pw == "1234": return apache.OK else: return apache.HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED """ SearchHandler.py """ from mod_python import apache def index(req,**args): req.content_type = "text/html" req.write("<html><head><title>Search Index Page</title><head><body>## 'index' got called once</body></html>") def search(req,**args): req.content_type = "text/html" req.write("<html><head><title>Search /search Page</title><head><body>## '/search' got called once</body></html>") """ Result of: 1) http://lucene.moonspawn.scanmine.com/ => AuthenHandler::authenhandler called: 1 ## 'index' got called once 2) http://lucene.moonspawn.scanmine.com/SearchHandler.py/search => AuthenHandler::authenhandler called: 1 AuthenHandler::authenhandler called: 2 ## '/search' got called once 3) http://lucene.moonspawn.scanmine.com/search.html => (using mod_rewrite) AuthenHandler::authenhandler called: 1 AuthenHandler::authenhandler called: 2 AuthenHandler::authenhandler called: 3 ## '/search' got called once regards /rune "So as far as I'm concerned, SOAP is not XML, nor is it useful to even a fraction of the degree to which it is destructive." - Uche Ogbuji
