Perhaps this list is the wrong forum for this question, or perhaps it is way premature, but figured I would ask... I was wondering, since XML-RPC is being integrated into the Python 2.2a core library, whether or not it would be a good idea to advoate the idea of extending the XML-RPC library to support basic auth for use with Zope as part of the core xmlrpclib library within Python 2.2? It sure would be nice to have XML-RPC access to auth-protected methods in Zope out of the box. Any thoughts?

Absolutely. It would be easier though just to include the relevant xml-rpc basic auth module with Zope. While we are at I wrote a similar one for SOAP (after patching Zope to actually work with SOAP).

Whatsit!? You got Zope to handle Soap requests? That I need!
To add SOAP support go here: http://www.ppetru.net/software/index.html soaplibBasicAuth.py is attached, it requires soaplib.

I'm kind of in favour, but just wanted to voice the opinion that the stock xmlrpc library is unusable for any kind of production system because it's so slow. We couldn't even demo our system without being embarassed before we switched to py-xmlrpc. -Magnus
