Yeah, there's a couple things I've been considering changing since
I've gotten much better at django since I originally rewrote the web
interface.

1) Move to wsgi - mod_python is dead
2) Get rid of the basic auth and use a form-based login

I may tackle this in the near future along with the object saving stuff.

My 2cents: please keep basic auth, at least as an option. I really dislike form-based login. ******************************************************* This message (including any files transmitted with it) may contain confidential and/or proprietary information, is the property of Interactive Data Corporation and/or its subsidiaries, and is directed only to the addressee(s).
