Mapping URLs in my handler script in App Engine

Question

I have

class Auth(webapp.RequestHandler):
    def get(self,username,password):
        self.response.out.write("auth" + self.request.get("username"))

The structure of my URL will be:

/api/auth/?username=xxxx&password=xxxx

How do I map this URL in my handler script?

Any chance you can use a POST instead? Passwords in GETs are not best practice. (Extra credit: use something better than plain passwords across the wire) — Justin Morgan

Handler:

class Auth(webapp.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        self.response.out.write("username" + self.request.get("username"))
        self.response.out.write("password" + self.request.get("password"))

Url:

/api/auth?username=xxxx&password=xxxx

Application:

application = webapp.WSGIApplication([
    ('/api/auth', Auth),
    ], debug=True)

Not sure why yours didn't work but I got this to work (/api/auth/(.*)(.*)',Auth)

@jwesonga That only works because (.*) matches the empty string, and you have two additional parameters 'username' and 'password'. Remove those parameters from your handler - you have to use self.request.get to get the query string arguments.
