 > Thanks for doing this. Just so I understand,
 'wp_rpc_request_handler_class' can be a class that extends IXR_Server?

 It can be any class with a constructor that takes a list of method
 callbacks.

 a good forward step for WP.

 This is absolutely necessary for security purposes. Otherwise you'd have
 to include username/passwords in the URL for GET requests, which makes
 them visible in server/proxy logs and other places that POST contents
 aren't logged.

 Another enhancement would be to add more auth options, so that it can
 piggy-back on an admin cookie or use oauth or other options that don't
 include the password in plaintext. But that's for another ticket.
