To support http authentication we need to implement 
CefRequestHandler::GetAuthCredentials():

http://code.google.com/p/cefpython/source/browse/include/cef_request_handler.h#1
50

virtual bool GetAuthCredentials(CefRefPtr<CefBrowser> browser,
                                  bool isProxy,
                                  const CefString& host,
                                  int port,
                                  const CefString& realm,
                                  const CefString& scheme,
                                  CefString& username,
                                  CefString& password) { return false; }

I've implemented CefRequestHandler but came into issues. Some of the functions 
of that handler run on IO thread and you cannot execute Python on that thread 
and this means trouble, we can bypass it but the solution will make more time. 
Need to figure out how to do asynchronous callbacks for the getauthcredentials.

I've had some discussion with Cython users and we have a simple solution for 
all thread problems, there won't be needed any modifications, python code can 
run on any of the threads.

Http Authentication is now supported, version 0.36 released, go to Downloads.

Let know if everything works fine.

If you would like to provide your own custom implementation of http 
authentication, you are somewhat limited when you do that from pure python.

To provide a custom implementation you need to overwrite  GetAuthCredentials() 
in RequestHandler.

This function is called on IO thread and from what I've tested a GIL lock needs 
to be released for it to work if you want to display a modal dialog window. 
Currently this authentication is implemented by calling DialogBoxIndirect(), 
the source is here:

http://code.google.com/p/cefpython/source/browse/httpauth/AuthDialog.cpp

The only way to implement custom http authentication, as of now, is to display 
a dialog inside the browser by using html/css/javascript, you can do this by 
calling [Browser].GetMainFrame().ExecuteJavascript(). You would need to use 
some kind of "while True" loop with a call to time.sleep() and periodic checks 
to the html/js whether clicked OK/Cancel in your html-based dialog.
