I have a CherryPy application running successfully using the built-in digest authentication tool and no session support.  Now, I would like to expose additional features to certain users.  Is it possible to obtain the currently-authenticated user from the authorization system?
Found the user name encoded in the HTTP request header Authorization.  I am able to parse it from there.  If there's a "better" place to obtain the username, I'm open to improvements!
