Correction :

f=xmlrpclib.Server('http://localhost:8080/',xmlrpclib.BasicAuthTransport('my
username','mypassword'))

(don't forget the "/" after "8080" when playing with xmlrpc)

objectIds() is protected for calls through xmlrpc for security issues.

Workaround :
Create a script called "xObjectIds" at the Zope root. Protect this script
(view for managers only).
This sript will have the single line :

return contects.objectIds()

This works cause it returns a list of strings.

You can't return objects through xmlrpc. There are type limitations and you
must marshall your objects to tuples, dictionnaries, strings, int, floats or
timesamps to transmit data through xmlrpc. That's why you can't get
objectValues through xmlrpc.
