I have some code for a web server. Right now, it uses BaseHTTPRequestHandler with Basic Auth, but we want to be able to log out, and there doesn't appear to be a general way to log out of something using Basic Auth, short of turning to unportable JavaScript. And this needs first and foremost to be machine-callable, so JavaScript probably isn't a great solution for us.
Does BaseHTTPRequestHandler add a way of dealing with Basic Auth logout by any chance? I googled about it, and didn't find anything. I could rewrite to work with Django's authentication system I suppose. Does this work reasonably well for REST API's? How do you pass the credentials? Is it a cookie?
