Well, just to test out the lowest denominator, I have a zope server that
has the following stats:
/
|-index_html
|
L/folder
| L/index_html
|
L/cmf_instance
  L/index_html (ok, it's actually in the portal_skins tree ;)


Using a simple xml-rpc from python to get the output of index_html (thus
eliminating scripting issues fo rthe most part),

server=xmlrpclib.connect('http://www.my.site/')
server.index_html()   # works

server=xmlrpclib.connect('http://www.my.site/folder')
server.index_html()   # works

server=xmlrpclib.connect('http://www.my.site/cmf_instance')
server.index_html()   # fails

I get a NotFound error (Traceback essentially useless, of course),
complaining about not being able to find "/RPC2".

I haven't tried it with  a big-simple, no dtml method from the cmf
instance, that was what i was _hoping_ to test out, but I got caught up
in teaching someone how to skin properly "Yo man, slip me some skin..."

Server: Zope 2.3.1 (src compiled by yours truly)
Zope 2.0 (yeah, I know ... ;) ) .. actually, this is happening on my
productions too, which run 1.5.2 ...
CMF-1.0
