lib/python/ZPublisher/Client.py is an HTTP based Zope RPC mechanism.

Quothe the usage information:

"""
Usage: %s [-u username:password] url [name=value ...]

where url is the web resource to call.

The -u option may be used to provide a user name and password.

Optional arguments may be provides as name=value pairs.

In a name value pair, if a name ends in ":file", then the value is
treated as a file name and the file is send using the file-upload
protocol.   If the file name is "-", then data are taken from standard
input.

The body of the response is written to standard output.
The headers of the response are written to standard error.
"""

You can also call things from python:

This is essentially asking for the 'index_html' method of the root
folder (like http://host.com/)  Since I dont have an index_html method,
it's give the str representation of root object, which is an object of
type 'Application'.

You can also specify more arguments to Main(): "u='userid:passwd'" as
the userid and password (for Basic auth, doesn't work for cookies,
that's a bit of a bugger). and "d=1" for real time debugging, or "pm=1"
for post mortem debugging.

Uhm.  I don't quite get your question.  Clarification?
