OK, I can see why that might be;  the XML-RPC request doesn't
have the 'portal_skins' cookie, for one thing.

I don't know of any symbol, 'RPC2', which would be in a stock
Zope;  is this name mentioned by your 'index_html'?

Presuming you mean "Python 2.0"

I can't reproduce your case under Python 1.5.2, using the
xmlrpclib.py in $ZOPE_HOME/lib/python, because it doesn't
have a 'connect' method;  other tries (like instantiating
a 'Server' object) haven't been successful, either.
