The only documentation regarding doing authentication for XML-RPC I
can find is -
"Both the HTTP and HTTPS transports support the URL syntax extension
for HTTP Basic Authentication: http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/path. The
user:pass portion will be base64-encoded as an HTTP `Authorization'
header, and sent to the remote server as part of the connection
process when invoking an XML-RPC method. You only need to use this if
the remote server requires a Basic Authentication user and password."
- from http://docs.python.org/lib/module-xmlrpclib.html
Is this really the only way to do authentication for XML-RPC calls?
Like this:
server = xmlrpclib.Server('http://adam:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/zidestore/so/
adam/'
This works, but is pretty ugly. Is there no way to setup the
authentication through properties (like in most XML-RPC bindings),
like:
server = xmlrpclib.Server('http://localhost/zidestore/so/adam/'
server.Username = 'adam'
server.Password = 'fred123'
Just write a little factory class that does it for you:
import urlparse
class myauth(object):
def __init__(self, scheme = None, domain = None, path = None):
self.scheme = scheme
self.domain = domain
self.path = path
self.Username = None
self.Password = None
def __str__(self):
for attr in ['scheme', 'domain', 'path', 'Username', 'Password']:
if getattr(self, attr) is None:
raise ValueError('No %s attribute value given' % attr)
url=urlparse.urlunsplit((self.scheme,
'%s:[EMAIL PROTECTED]' % (self.Username, self.Password, self.domain),
self.path, '', ''))
return url
if __name__ == "__main__":
auth = auth = myauth(scheme = 'http', domain = 'localhost',
path='/zidestore/so/adam/')
auth.Username = 'adam'
auth.Password = 'fred123'
print auth
In program
auth = myauth(scheme = 'http', domain = 'localhost',
path = '/zidestore/so/adam')
auth.Username = 'adam'
auth.Password = 'fred123'
print auth
'http://adam:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/params;/lib/module-xmlrpclib.html'
