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.
