Since it wasn't documented how to accomplish, I started digging through the XML-RPC source code, and it appears to me that basic authentication isn't supported at all.

I would consider this a must for any serious XML-RPC usage.

Thanks!

The attached patch allows a map to be passed in to the XMLRPCServerProxy constructor which will be used to set request properties. Although this feature is much more generic than authentication/authorization it does permit users to supply a simple Basic Auth header to include in their remote method invocations (property name "Authorization", property value is "Basic " + base64-encoding of "username:password").

I wasn't aware this issue was already open so I raised another question on the mailing list and implemented the same functionality myself. Hopefully now with two patches to choose from it can be merged to the repository

Thanks!
