First, let me say I have patched my xmlrpclib.py to support authentication; that isn't the problem. Overview: I have a folder, 'Administration', which requires manager login to access. In this folder is a subfolder called 'MachineTracker'. In this folder is a collection of ZSQl Methods, DTML Methods, and DTML Documents. What I want to do is to connect to the server via XML-RPC, and make use of the ZSQL Method for inserting data into the database. Problem: When attempting this from python in XML-RPC, I get a 401 Unauthorized error. I can access the folder, and other methods, such as index_html() and objectIds() with no authentication issues. Any ideas?
