You should not. Add basic or digest authentication is really easy. Take
a look at Calderone's Twisted Web in 60 seconds: HTTP authentication[1],
I read the series time ago and I don't remember exactly the content but
the serie is really well written, the best 60 seconds (per episode)
spent to learn the bases of twisted web.

yes, you could and twisted tap plugin system helps you on this. Just
create a tap plugin with the options you need. An simple example:
from twisted.python import usage
from twisted.plugin import IPlugin
from twisted.application import strports, service
class Options(usage.Options):
optParameters = [
['port', 'p', '80', 'Listen port.', int],
['interface', 'i', None, 'Interface to which to
bind.'],
]
class ProcessXMLRPCServiceMaker(object):
implements(service.IServiceMaker, IPlugin)
tapname = "processxmlrpc"
description = "Remote process control in xmlrpc"
options = Options
def makeService(self, options):
factory = ... # XXX
description = 'tcp:' + str(config['port'])
if config['interface']:
description += ':interface=' +
config['interface']
return strports.service(description, factory)
You can setup the server to listen to localhost and prepare a reverse
proxy that require authentication and that accept connections from all
interfaces, as example.
