Most programatic clients can be told to submit basic auth credentials  
without a 401, but digest and negotiate are much harder.  It doesn't  
matter though, because nevow.guard only supports basic auth afaik.  I  
seem to recall that xmlrpclib supports http://user:pass@host/  
syntax.  twisted.web.xmlrpc.Proxy also supports this, as well as  
explicit keyword arguments for user and password.
