What I needed to do to get this to work

• Install Twisted

• Install Zope Interfaces

• Install pyOpenSSL

• Install web2 from Twisted: (either from svn or for the Web2 package) svn co svn://svn.twistedmatrix.com/svn/Twisted/trunk Twisted

• Move web2 into twisted

• Make salted hash password (salt is the last 2 characters of the password) from crypt import crypt password = 'mypass' crypt(password, password[-2:]) #(use the last two characters as the salt)

• Add username/password to httpspass.conf

• Create a Twisted Client from twisted.web.xmlrpc import Proxy from twisted.internet import reactor

  def printValue(value): print repr(value) reactor.stop()

  def printError(error): print 'error', error reactor.stop()

  proxy = Proxy('https://%s:%s@localhost:9870' % ('myfancyusername', 'ohmygod')) proxy.callRemote('echo', 'hello, im echoing this').addCallbacks(printValue, printError) reactor.run()

• Start the server: twistd -y xmlrpc_app.py

• Test the client: python client.py
