Timothy -

Thanks.  This is great.  It's just what I needed.

And, I definitely vote that this capability (to authenticate with
the XML-RPC server using user name and password) be added
to twisted/web/xmlrpc.py in the TwistedWeb distribution.

And, FYI, I'm also communicating with Zope.  Actually, I'm making
XML-RPC calls to CPS, which is a CMS built on top of Zope.  CPS
exposes some document management functions through XML-RPC.

I'm writing a document on how to use the XML-RPC interface exposed
by CPS.  In addition to code samples of clients implemented with
xmlrpclib, I also wanted to provide an example of a client
implemented with Twisted, which is why I wanted to be able to
write the Twisted XML-RPC client.

You can find my document here:

Thanks again.
