Module Protocols.XMLRPC

Description

This module implements most features of the XML-RPC standard (see http://xml-rpc.org/).

Translation rules for conversions from Pike datatypes to XML-RPC datatypes:

Pike int is translated to XML-RPC <int>. Pike string is translated to XML-RPC <string>. Pike float is translated to XML-RPC <double>. Pike mapping is translated to XML-RPC <struct>. Pike array is translated to XML-RPC <array>.

Translation rules for conversions from XML-RPC datatypes to Pike datatypes:

XML-RPC <i4>, <int> and <boolean> are translated to Pike int. XML-RPC <string> and <base64> are translated to Pike string. XML_RPC <double> is translated to Pike float. XML-RPC <struct> is translated to Pike mapping. XML-RPC <array> is translated to Pike array. XML-RPC <dateTime.iso8601> is translated to Pike Calendar object.

Note

The XML-RPC <dateTime.iso8601> datatype is currently only partially implemented. It is decoded but cannot be encoded. Also, the code here does not assume any particular timezone (which is correct according to the specification). The Calendar module, however, seems to assume localtime.
