This recipe provides a simple function that does exactly that.</p>

Revision 6. </p> <p>HTTP Basic is an unsecure but easy to implement authentication protocol. I think its good enough for a simple client in front of an SSL capable server. Google App-Engine supports SSL, and here is a recipe to set up the user-session using HTTP Basic. </p> <p>gauth has the code from my not-really-a-recipe listing at: <a href="http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577217-routines-for-programmatically-authenticating-with-" rel="nofollow">http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577217-routines-for-programmatically-authenticating-with-</a></p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>This takes two calls, one to the ClientLogin service of Google Accounts, and then a second to the login frontend of App Engine.</p> <p>User credentials are provided to the first, which responds with a token. Passing that token to the _ah/login GAE endpoint then gives the cookie that can be used to make further authenticated requests.</p>
