XML-RPC over HTTPS/SSL

[Thomas Weholt]

Ok, after a few hours of "hard" work I finally got it working, even supports
gzipped xmlrpc-responses and basic user authentication. The code is
available at http://home.online.no/~t-weh/releases/xmlrpcauth.py and is no
more than a modified version of the post I found using google ( address
below ).

I didn't see the replies until now so I haven't had time to check those out
yet. Probably learned something while hacking at the code so it wasn't a
total waste of time ( hopefully ).

Anyway, thanks for your replies.

Best regards,
Thomas Weholt
