hi robin, it is true, the current version of xmlrpclib doesn't do authentication. amos latteier wrote a howto on using zope as an xml-rpc server and he was put up a patch for xmlrpclib that will let you use authentication: http://www.zope.org/Members/Amos/XML-RPC that should at least point you in the right direction. jens

At one time there was talk on this list (or zope@zope.org) of building a scheduler product -- something that would automatically execute specified methods at specified times or time intervals.
Does anyone have such a product in the works? ...or is it time for me to roll up my sleeves and get to work?
would that be a lot different from writing an external python script that would be run by cron (on unix) and trigger a zope method via xml-rpc...?!

Is there any nice way to get xmlrpc to pass a login/password to a server that requires it? I looked in vain for such a thing in xmlrpclib.py.
Are all xmlrpc servers assumed to be world executable?
I looked in xmlrpclib.py ad it doesn't seem to use splituser so presumably can't get at user:password. -- Robin Becker
