How to pass Url instead of host name

[Venkata Madana]

Hi,
My client application is need to connect server application by using URL http://localhost/server/xmlrpc. How can I specify this URL on client side? My server application is running on java.

Thanks

I'd also like to know the answer to this.  Is it done somehow with the URI parameter in the XmlRpcClient constructor?

There isn't an overload to allow you to do that.

[Tim Laplaca]

Thanks.

So that URI parameter is used for something else?  Or is it a "future" thing?

[eric lindvall]

The three parameters are for as follows:

http://\[hostname]:[port][/uri]

Usually, the XML-RPC servers will use the path "/RPC2", but they can respond to any path that is desired.

If you were connecting to an XML-RPC server that had a non-standard path, you would specify that in the URI parameter.

Thanks for the clarification Eric.

Just to be clear: if the URL to the remote procedure is

http://192.168.50.50/blahblah

then should the call be:
XmlRpcClient c("192.168.50.50", 8080, "blahblah");

Is this correct?

absolutely correct
