        Another issue to consider when using XML-RPC is security. Many
        XML-RPC clients still don't support HTTP basic
        authorization. Depending on which XML-RPC clients you
        anticipate, you may wish to make your XML-RPC methods public and
        accept authentication credentials as arguments to your methods.

           An example here (or reference to one appearing elsewhere) showing how to accept authentication credentials as
           arguments to your methods would be very valuable.
