I suppose this is mentioned in the Change Log by: "on_failed_authorization can be a function, thanks Niphold"
How is this used? could the function be a lambda, does it take params, is it an action (i.e. a controller function)? Also, is it possible to allow the usual login redirection in case it is not a service call? I'm thinking in these lines: def theFunction(): if request.function == 'call': # return case forservice call else: # redirect to login form This would be useful for publishing the same service both for browsers and for other apps, like it is mentioned in p://www.web2pyslices.com/main/slices/take_slice/48 (see "Authentication"). This solution would also be useful for other non-browser-based clients. Would it work? How is the function used?
