wsgi-auth-token -- Token-based URL access

WSGI Auth Token allows you to generate links to static files for a fixed period
6
of time; once the link expires, the file is no longer available.
8
It's very performant because it doesn't serve the file by itself: It tells the
9
server whether the file can be downloaded and where it is, and then the server
12
It is a light replacement for Apache's mod_auth_token implemented as a Python
13
WSGI application but you can use it with your Java/PHP/whatever applications.

wsgi-xsendfile -- ``X-Sendfile`` implementation in Python

*********************************************************

``X-Sendfile`` is a feature in Web servers which allow you to tell the Web
6
server which static files in the filesystem it should serve. It works like this:
7
The Web server gets an HTTP request which is passed on to your application,
8
the application returns the path to the file in the filesystem that should be
9
served (if any), and finally the Web **itself** serves the file.
11
You can use this for a number of things, like controlling access to static
12
files, or dispatching them in a custom way.
14
This is implemented as a Python WSGI application.
16
A replacement for Apache's `mod-auth-token
17
<http://code.google.com/p/mod-auth-token/>`_, based on the ``X-Sendfile``
18
application is also part of the distribution. It can be used along with any
19
Web application, even if it's not written in Python.
