XML-RPC for C/C++ (Xmlrpc-c)

hi list,

I am running an openbsd box as a webserver (no I cannot change that
os-decision..) and I desperatly need xmlrpc support in php4.
since this is not 'stable' it is not supported as a package.

on the obsd mailinglist I got the information, that I first need to
install the xmlrpc-c library and then recompile php4 from the ports
with --with-xmlrpc added to the makefile.

but I cannot find any xmlrpc-c library in the ports..
but I found xmlrpc-code in the php4-port (extension directory)..

now I'm puzzled what to do..?

has anyone on this list already worked with xmlrpc on openbsd and can
give me some advice?


thanks a lot in advance!

HI, i've build libxmlrpc-c with thread support. There's a problem into
thread cancellation:

For example:

I've create a simple XMLRPC server in C listening to port 8080.

when i do (i'm simulating Dos Attack)

for ((i=0;i=1;i=0)) do cat /dev/urandom |nc xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 8080; done

after a shor period the server stop responding and i've notice that
there's several thread created by server in ZOMBIE state.

i've included a patch to resolve this:

Hi, i've built an XMLRPC server in C, but i notice that Abyss web
server doesn't support SSL. There's any way to use another server?
Have anyone worked in that way? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance...

to a php server the problem is i keep getting a  unclosed token (-503) 
error, is their any way to set flags in the C client to print the going 
message or response as you can do in the php and perl versions of xmlrpc???


Thanks in advance

Hi,

I have an multi-threaded application written in C that must take
commands from a python program. I plan to use Xmlrpc for communication
between the C app and the python app. The C program would run the
Xmlrpc server (using abyss as the HTTP server) and the python app
would be the Xmlrpc client.

In this case, the C application has some state that needs to be
accessed when the Xmlrpc queries are handled by the server. I
find that xmlrpc_server_abyss_run forks and handles the queries
in a seperate process. Is there an API to run abyss inline rather
than spawn a process for it? Has anybody done this before or will
I have to change the code to make it work this way?

Regards,
Venkat

Hi all,

Right now XML-RPC Calls are one request and one response, which happens
over a new TCP-IP connection established, while sending the request. Is
there any way we can keep this TCP session alive for particular URL so
that next time we don't create new TCP-IP connection. I think it should
be possible as HTTP 1.1 standard supports this.

Thanks in advance for any of your reply.
