Hello,

the first version of sec-wall, a feature packed high-performance 
security proxy, has just been released.

sec-wall has many interesting features, including the support SSL/TLS, 
WS-Security, HTTP Auth Basic/Digest, extensible authentication schemes 
based on custom HTTP headers and XPath expressions, powerful URL 
matching/rewriting and an optional headers enrichment.

sec-wall uses and is built on top of several fantastic Python open 
source technologies, such as gevent, Spring Python, pesto, lxml, zdaemon 
or PyYAML and is meant to be highly customizable and easy to use. Good 
performance, tests, documentation and building an awesome community are 
at the very heart of the project.

Here's an example showing how little is needed to secure a backend 
server with HTTP Basic Auth.

# ######################################################

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

# stdlib
import uuid

# Don't share it with anyone.
INSTANCE_SECRET = '5bf4e78c256746eda2ce3e0e73f256d0'

# May be shared with the outside world.
INSTANCE_UNIQUE = uuid.uuid4().hex

def default():
     return {
         'basic-auth':True,
         'basic-auth-username':'MyUser',
         'basic-auth-password':'MySecret',
         'basic-auth-realm':'Secure area',
         'host': 'http://example.com'
     }

urls = [
     ('/*', default()),
]
