This directory contains working examples of uses of XML-RPC-c. There
|
||
|
|
are XML-RPC servers and XML-RPC clients that use the Xmlrpc-c libraries.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The simplest example is the 'query-meerkat' program, which contacts an
|
||
|
|
XML-RPC server that O'Reilly operates on the Internet called Meerkat.
|
||
|
|
Meerkat provides an RPC that returns a list of new articles that match
|
||
|
|
a specified search pattern. Run 'query-meerkat' like this example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ ./query-meerkat Linux
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This responds with a list of new articles that contain the work "Linux",
|
||
|
|
according to O'reilly's Meerkat service.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The simplest server program is 'xmlrpc_sample_add_server'. This
|
||
|
|
implements a single XML-RPC method called 'sample.add'. All it does is
|
||
|
|
add two numbers and return the sum. You can run such a server like
|
||
|
|
this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ ./xmlrpc_sample_add_server 8080
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The server this runs is based on the Abyss HTTP server. file. The
|
||
|
|
argument tell it to listen on TCP Port 8080 for RPCs. It puts log
|
||
|
|
information in /tmp, so be sure to look there.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A client program that goes along with this server is
|
||
|
|
'xmlrpc_sample_add_client'. All this client does is make an XML-RPC
|
||
|
|
request to Port 8080 of 'localhost' to add the numbers 5 and 7 and
|
||
|
|
print the result on Standard Output.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can run such a client like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ ./xmlrpc_sample_add_client
|
||
|
