[imp] Calling IMP thru XML-RPC

>     server_url="http://betty.userland.com"
>     server=xmlrpclib.Server(server_url)
>     return server.examples.getStateName(number)
>
> It returns Alabama for 01 and Wyoming for 50 from RPC server at userland.com.
>
> Based on that test script I wrote this snippet:
>
> def getAuth(self, user, pwd):
>     import xmlrpclib
>     server_url="http://www.orl.cz/horde/rpc.php"
>     server=xmlrpclib.Server(server_url)
>     return server.imp.authenticate(user,pwd)
>
> It returns two errors: "multiple elements on top level" and "Syntax error at
> line 2: multiple elements on top level"

These errors come from Python, no idea what they mean.

> Is my snippet OK?

No, the credential parameter takes an associative array or struct,  
with the password in the named element "password". And you probably  
need to pass the third parameter, even if you leave it empty.
