[Zope] Syntax error in XML-RPC How to?

[Andrew Diller]

hi: I'm trying to use the BasicAuth example in the "XML-RPC How To"

http://www.zope.org/Members/Amos/XML-RPC


I keep getting the Zope error when creaing the External Method:

Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. 

            Error Type: SyntaxError
            Error Value: invalid syntax

--------

I've just cut and pasted this from the webpage, only removed extra padding spaces, and spliced the one big
line back together:
 h.putheader("AUTHORIZATION", "Basic %s" % string.replace(encodestring("%s:%s" % (self.username,
self.password)),"\012", ""))



The code defines a class and a def:


---------------
class BasicAuthTransport(xmlrpclib.Transport):
    def __init__(self, username=xxxx, password=xxxx):
        self.username=username
        self.password=password

    def request(self, host, handler, request_body):
        # issue XML-RPC request

----------------
In the Add External method page, where you enter in the Function name I've tried:

request
BasicAuthTransport
BasicAuthTransport.request
request.BasicAuthTransport

Which is the right one? it want's the Function 'request', right?

So, the syntax error must be something in the script.

Any help would be appreciated.
