Split access/authentication/authorisation functionality out into separate Apache module. #74

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
To slim down mod_wsgi Apache module, and also to offload functionality that 
most wouldn't use, 
the access/authentication/authorisation features should be split into a 
separately loadable Apache 
module.

To follow Apache conventions, this should by rights be called mod_authnz_wsgi, 
but calling it 
mod_wsgi_auth may be better if intend to create a family of related modules 
that build on 
mod_wsgi such as mod_wsgi_filters and mod_wsgi_ssi etc. One could also as 
speculated back when 
mod_wsgi idea first came up, have mod_wsgi_handlers, which would effectively be 
an equivalent to 
mod_python handler support, but without all the fancy handlers for CGI, 
publisher and PSP.

Decided not to do this, at least at this stage. May be revisited at future 
point proving better to have it all in one 
module.
