[Twisted-Python] XMLRPC Authentication

[Justin Johnson]

FYI-

I ended up using the SimpleXMLRPCServer from python and adding the
necessary code to do http auth.  Posted my code to the python-list. 
However, if the functionality is added to cred at a later date, I'd love
to use it.

Thanks for the info.
