XMLRPC stuff

inspired by Stig's post, about the pear sub command communicating via xmlrpc (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=pear-dev&m=100430557325059&w=2) i started fooling around with it too, when i saw there is the same API already converted to PEAR i just switched right to this and I found out the following 1. i think it would be nice if the XML_RPC_Response::getval() would do a settype before returning the value, so the value is of the right type, so you can also do those (nasty but sometimes necessary) checks using === i came across that when checking a boolean for ===true, it was ==true but the value was still an integer that's why === didnt work what are the opinions? 2. XML_RPC_Server::verifySignature error return doesnt work properly, sorry but i havent found out why, yet Wanted ${wanted}, got ${got} at param ${pno}) always returns Wanted , got at param ) examples ----------- on how to use XML_RPC can be found at http://wolfram.kriesing.de/pear/examples/XML_RPC/ try xmlrpx.php if you get "Hi AuthxLogin" than it worked :-) much to see ha? but it gets it via XMLRPC bugs ----- in XML_RPC/Server.php (i guess the require is no bug, just my fault, right?) ---------------------------------------------------------------- --- Server.php Wed Oct 31 22:54:01 2001 +++ myServer.php Wed Oct 31 12:46:11 2001 @@ -23,7 +23,7 @@ // XML RPC Server class // requires: xmlrpc.inc -require_once "XML/RPC.php"; +require_once "XML_RPC/RPC.php"; // listMethods: either a string, or nothing $GLOBALS['XML_RPC_Server_listMethods_sig']= @@ -300,7 +300,7 @@ // a debugging routine: just echos back the input // packet as a string value - $r=new XML_RPC_Response; + $r=new XML_RPC_Response(0); $r->xv=new XML_RPC_Value( "'Aha said I: '" . $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA, "string"); print $r->serialize(); } ---------------------------------------------------------------- the first bug was the reason why my booleans were not returned properly, the XML-response was correct, but the translation to a php value didnt work, it was always 0, it works with this fix, but i dont know if that is really the right place to fix the bug the second i guess it was meant to return the PEAR_Error ... right? ---------------------------------------------------------------- --- RPC.php Wed Oct 31 22:53:59 2001 +++ myRPC.php Wed Oct 31 21:52:19 2001 @@ -229,6 +229,7 @@ $XML_RPC_xh[$parser]['ac']="true"; else $XML_RPC_xh[$parser]['ac']="false"; + $XML_RPC_xh[$parser]['st'].=$XML_RPC_xh[$parser]['ac']; $XML_RPC_xh[$parser]['vt']=strtolower($name); // Drop through intentionally. @@ -471,10 +472,10 @@ } if(!$fp && $this->proxy) { - PEAR::raiseError("Connection to proxy server ".$this->proxy.":".$this->proxy_port." failed"); + return PEAR::raiseError("Connection to proxy server ".$this->proxy.":".$this->proxy_port." failed"); } else if(!$fp) { - PEAR::raiseError("Connection to RPC server ".$this->server." failed"); + return PEAR::raiseError("Connection to RPC server ".$this->server." failed"); } -- Wolfram
