XmlRpcHandler Module

Introduction to the XmlRpcHandler Module

This module implements server-side support for the XML-RPC protocol for serialization/deserialization of message data.

This module provides the XmlRpcHandler class which can be used to provide an RPC handler for the HttpServer class provided by the HttpServer module.

Example Usage

%requires HttpServer
%requires XmlRpcHandler
%requires Mime

const ApiMethods = (
     ("name": "^sys\\.shutdown\$",
      "text": "sys.shutdown",
      "function": sub () { background $http.stop();  return "OK"; },
      "help": "shuts down this server",
      "logopt": 0,
      ),
);

# a logging closure
my code $log = sub (string $str) {printf("%y: %s\n", now_us(), $str);};

# our bind address
const Bind = 8888;

my XmlRpcHandler $xmlRpcHandler(new AbstractAuthenticator(), $api);
our HttpServer $http($log, $log);
$http.addListener(Bind);
$http.setHandler("xmlrpc", "", MimeTypeXmlRpc, $xmlRpcHandler);
$http.setDefaultHandler("xmlrpc", $xmlRpcHandler);
$log("now listening on %s\n", Bind);
$http.waitStop();
