An HTTP error 403 occurred when enabling the XPLRPC API [#2175283]

When checking or unchecking the "Enable XMLRPC API" checkbox, (http://www.example.com/admin/settings/prod-check) the following error pops up:

An HTTP error 403 occurred.
/admin/settings/prod-check/xmlrpc

If you cancel the error and try to save the configuration, this warning appears:
"When enabling the XPLRPC API, you must enter an API key!"

No API Key field is visible during this process.

Reverting to 6.x-1.6 and clearing caches enables you to generate the API key.

I managed to get this issue fixed after some debugging, I found that Drupal 6 version have some missing menu items definitions missing some elements and some times the pagecallback set to function doesn't exist on the same scope/file, attached is a patch to fix this issue at least for xmlrpc checkbox.

Thanks.
