I believe you can do this:

xrpc = Xrpc() page = NevowRootPage() page.putChild('RPC2', xrpc) just make sure xmlrpc resource isn't behind nevow.guard
It's a shame you can't persuade guard by URL arguments to not try an HTTP redirect to HTML login, but issue an HTTP auth challenge.
Bizarrely nevow guard will accept http auth credentials if they're given, but I don't know of a single HTTP client that will submit them without getting the 401 first.
Most programatic clients can be told to submit basic auth credentials without a 401, but digest and negotiate are much harder. It doesn't matter though, because nevow.guard only supports basic auth afaik. I seem to recall that xmlrpclib supports http://user:pass@host/ syntax. twisted.web.xmlrpc.Proxy also supports this, as well as explicit keyword arguments for user and password. - David Reid http://dreid.org/
