The only documentation regarding doing authentication for XML-RPC I can find is -
"Both the HTTP and HTTPS transports support the URL syntax extension for HTTP Basic Authentication: http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/path. The user:pass portion will be base64-encoded as an HTTP `Authorization' header, and sent to the remote server as part of the connection process when invoking an XML-RPC method. You only need to use this if the remote server requires a Basic Authentication user and password." - from http://docs.python.org/lib/module-xmlrpclib.html Is this really the only way to do authentication for XML-RPC calls? Like this: server = xmlrpclib.Server('http://adam:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/zidestore/so/ adam/' This works, but is pretty ugly. Is there no way to setup the authentication through properties (like in most XML-RPC bindings), like: server = xmlrpclib.Server('http://localhost/zidestore/so/adam/' server.Username = 'adam' server.Password = 'fred123' -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
