Looks Great!
here's the JIRA issue
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GROOVY-2707At first I thought it was sort of more than I needed, but now I think may replace the URLConnection with the common's HttpClient in doRpcCall(), rather than just add in my cookie. If I passed one in a constructor, I could use the same initialized httpClient for several different XmlRpc proxys that I was already using for non XmlRpc GETs in the same action. That's makes it even better.
That could also be the basis for the solution the
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GROOVY-1426. HttpClient supports basic and some other types of authentication.
Now if only I could pass a HttpClient in like that to a WSClient.
thx,
