BaseHTTPServer Python and xmlhttprequest authorization

Question

Sorry, i speak English a little bit. I have a js code

url = '/auth'
var http_request = window.XDomainRequest || window.XMLHttpRequest;
http_request = new http_request;
http_request.open( "post", url, true, 'jack', 'pass_jack' );
http_request.send();

And python BaseHTTPServer

def do_POST(self):
    if self.path == '/auth':

How i can check username and password in python?

XMLHttpRequest sets the Authentication header, you'd need parse that header:

auth = self.headers['Authentication']

See RFC 2617 (HTTP Authentication: Basic and Digest Access Authentication) for details on how a user agent interacts with a server through that header.
