You can check for an HTTP status code of 401, "authorization required", and provide the kind of HTTP authorization (basic, digest, whatever) that the site is asking for -- see e.g. here for more details (there's not much that's GAE specific here -- it's a matter of learning HTTP details and obeying them!-).
