[Zope] md5 routines inside python script does not work!

Fri, 20 Jul 2001 17:02:03 -0300

Hi folks!

I facedd with a strange zope behavior.

i am trying to get a digest for a string, using md5 routines, but zope request to provided (again) with a user/password. What i cannot understand is that i logged in with a manager account.

Here is the script:

import random, string, md5

def strrnd(nlen = 24) :
  result = ''
  while nlen :
    nlen -= 1
    result += random.choice(string.hexdigits)
  return result

a = md5.new(strrnd() + icn + container.REQUEST.environ['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] + container.REQUEST.environ['REMOTE_ADDR'])

return a.hexdigest()

Since zope ask again and again for a user/password i hit cancel and the html returned is:

May some one PLEASE help me correct the problem?

Thanks A LOT for your time and cooperation.

There are no physicists in the hottest parts of hell, because the
existence of a "hottest part" implies a temperature difference, and any
marginally competent physicist would immediately use this to run a heat
engine and make some other part of hell comfortably cool.  This is
obviously impossible.
