I need to use XML-RPC call with Basic Authorization in HTTP headers. I found xmlrpclibBasicAuth.py, and it can be used as follows:
from xmlrpclibBasicAuth import Server s=Server("http://www.example.com/rpc.php","user","pwd") print s.system.listMethods() Is this possible in plain xmlrpclib, without xmlrpclibBasicAuth.py? I found the Transport class in xmlrpclib, and it has a method "get_host_info", which parses "user:pwd" out of "user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]". But when I tried to instantiate Server, it threw error "unsupported XML-RPC protocol". Here is a snippet: from xmlrpclib import Server s=Server("user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]://www.example.com/rpc.php") ... File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/xmlrpclib.py", line 1293, in __init__ raise IOError, "unsupported XML-RPC protocol" IOError: unsupported XML-RPC protocol I know that I am using it incorrectly. Does the basic authentication support in xmlrpclib mean something else than I take it for? -- Milos Prudek -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
