Package gavo :: Package protocols :: Module creds

Module creds

Code for checking against our user db.

We don't use nevow.guard here since we know we're queried via http, but we can't be sure that the other end knows html, and we don't want to fuzz around with sessions. twisted.cred is a different issue but probably only complicates matters unnecessarily.
