[zope2-tracker] [Bug 1152193] Re: ZPublisher.Client.call discards HTTP method argument

[Martijn Pieters]

I would preserve the original argument ordering; so keep `username=None,
password=None` at the front of the `call()` function signature.

That would let code using `call()` with *positional* arguments continue
to work. If any code uses `Client.call('some/url', 'username',
'password')` then suddenly the username and password are being
interpreted as the `arguments` and `method` keyword parameters instead.
Change the `call()` signature to:

    def call(url, username=None, password=None, arguments=(),
method=None, timeout=None, **kw)

I don't expect there to be *much* code using this, but there is no point
in breaking any that does.
