=begin = xmlrpc/client.rb Copyright (C) 2001, 2002, 2003 by Michael Neumann (mneumann@ntecs.de) Released under the same term of license as Ruby. = Classes * (()) * (()) = XMLRPC::Client == Synopsis require "xmlrpc/client" server = XMLRPC::Client.new("www.ruby-lang.org", "/RPC2", 80) begin param = server.call("michael.add", 4, 5) puts "4 + 5 = #{param}" rescue XMLRPC::FaultException => e puts "Error:" puts e.faultCode puts e.faultString end or require "xmlrpc/client" server = XMLRPC::Client.new("www.ruby-lang.org", "/RPC2", 80) ok, param = server.call2("michael.add", 4, 5) if ok then puts "4 + 5 = #{param}" else puts "Error:" puts param.faultCode puts param.faultString end == Description Class (({XMLRPC::Client})) provides remote procedure calls to a XML-RPC server. After setting the connection-parameters with (()) which creates a new (({XMLRPC::Client})) instance, you can execute a remote procedure by sending the (()) or (()) message to this new instance. The given parameters indicate which method to call on the remote-side and of course the parameters for the remote procedure. == Class Methods --- XMLRPC::Client.new( host=nil, path=nil, port=nil, proxy_host=nil, proxy_port=nil, user=nil, password=nil, use_ssl=false, timeout =nil) Creates an object which represents the remote XML-RPC server on the given host ((|host|)). If the server is CGI-based, ((|path|)) is the path to the CGI-script, which will be called, otherwise (in the case of a standalone server) ((|path|)) should be (({"/RPC2"})). ((|port|)) is the port on which the XML-RPC server listens. If ((|proxy_host|)) is given, then a proxy server listening at ((|proxy_host|)) is used. ((|proxy_port|)) is the port of the proxy server. Default values for ((|host|)), ((|path|)) and ((|port|)) are 'localhost', '/RPC2' and '80' respectively using SSL '443'. If ((|user|)) and ((|password|)) are given, each time a request is send, a Authorization header is send. Currently only Basic Authentification is implemented no Digest. If ((|use_ssl|)) is set to (({true})), comunication over SSL is enabled. Note, that you need the SSL package from RAA installed. Parameter ((|timeout|)) is the time to wait for a XML-RPC response, defaults to 30. --- XMLRPC::Client.new2( uri, proxy=nil, timeout=nil) --- XMLRPC::Client.new_from_uri( uri, proxy=nil, timeout=nil) : uri URI specifying protocol (http or https), host, port, path, user and password. Example: https://user:password@host:port/path : proxy Is of the form "host:port". : timeout Defaults to 30. --- XMLRPC::Client.new3( hash={} ) --- XMLRPC::Client.new_from_hash( hash={} ) Parameter ((|hash|)) has following case-insensitive keys: * host * path * port * proxy_host * proxy_port * user * password * use_ssl * timeout Calls (()) with the corresponding values. == Instance Methods --- XMLRPC::Client#call( method, *args ) Invokes the method named ((|method|)) with the parameters given by ((|args|)) on the XML-RPC server. The parameter ((|method|)) is converted into a (({String})) and should be a valid XML-RPC method-name. Each parameter of ((|args|)) must be of one of the following types, where (({Hash})), (({Struct})) and (({Array})) can contain any of these listed ((:types:)): * (({Fixnum})), (({Bignum})) * (({TrueClass})), (({FalseClass})) ((({true})), (({false}))) * (({String})), (({Symbol})) * (({Float})) * (({Hash})), (({Struct})) * (({Array})) * (({Date})), (({Time})), (({XMLRPC::DateTime})) * (({XMLRPC::Base64})) * A Ruby object which class includes XMLRPC::Marshallable (only if Config::ENABLE_MARSHALLABLE is (({true}))). That object is converted into a hash, with one additional key/value pair "___class___" which contains the class name for restoring later that object. The method returns the return-value from the RPC ((-stands for Remote Procedure Call-)). The type of the return-value is one of the above shown, only that a (({Bignum})) is only allowed when it fits in 32-bit and that a XML-RPC (('dateTime.iso8601')) type is always returned as a ((<(({XMLRPC::DateTime}))|URL:datetime.html>)) object and a (({Struct})) is never returned, only a (({Hash})), the same for a (({Symbol})), where always a (({String})) is returned. A (({XMLRPC::Base64})) is returned as a (({String})) from xmlrpc4r version 1.6.1 on. If the remote procedure returned a fault-structure, then a (({XMLRPC::FaultException})) exception is raised, which has two accessor-methods (({faultCode})) and (({faultString})) of type (({Integer})) and (({String})). --- XMLRPC::Client#call2( method, *args ) The difference between this method and (()) is, that this method do ((*not*)) raise a (({XMLRPC::FaultException})) exception. The method returns an array of two values. The first value indicates if the second value is a return-value ((({true}))) or an object of type (({XMLRPC::FaultException})). Both are explained in (()). Simple to remember: The "2" in "call2" denotes the number of values it returns. --- XMLRPC::Client#multicall( *methods ) You can use this method to execute several methods on a XMLRPC server which supports the multi-call extension. Example: s.multicall( ['michael.add', 3, 4], ['michael.sub', 4, 5] ) # => [7, -1] --- XMLRPC::Client#multicall2( *methods ) Same as (()), but returns like (()) two parameters instead of raising an (({XMLRPC::FaultException})). --- XMLRPC::Client#proxy( prefix, *args ) Returns an object of class (({XMLRPC::Client::Proxy})), initialized with ((|prefix|)) and ((|args|)). A proxy object returned by this method behaves like (()), i.e. a call on that object will raise a (({XMLRPC::FaultException})) when a fault-structure is returned by that call. --- XMLRPC::Client#proxy2( prefix, *args ) Almost the same like (()) only that a call on the returned (({XMLRPC::Client::Proxy})) object behaves like (()), i.e. a call on that object will return two parameters. --- XMLRPC::Client#call_async(...) --- XMLRPC::Client#call2_async(...) --- XMLRPC::Client#multicall_async(...) --- XMLRPC::Client#multicall2_async(...) --- XMLRPC::Client#proxy_async(...) --- XMLRPC::Client#proxy2_async(...) In contrast to corresponding methods without "_async", these can be called concurrently and use for each request a new connection, where the non-asynchronous counterparts use connection-alive (one connection for all requests) if possible. Note, that you have to use Threads to call these methods concurrently. The following example calls two methods concurrently: Thread.new { p client.call_async("michael.add", 4, 5) } Thread.new { p client.call_async("michael.div", 7, 9) } --- XMLRPC::Client#timeout --- XMLRPC::Client#user --- XMLRPC::Client#password Return the corresponding attributes. --- XMLRPC::Client#timeout= (new_timeout) --- XMLRPC::Client#user= (new_user) --- XMLRPC::Client#password= (new_password) Set the corresponding attributes. --- XMLRPC::Client#set_writer( writer ) Sets the XML writer to use for generating XML output. Should be an instance of a class from module (({XMLRPC::XMLWriter})). If this method is not called, then (({XMLRPC::Config::DEFAULT_WRITER})) is used. --- XMLRPC::Client#set_parser( parser ) Sets the XML parser to use for parsing XML documents. Should be an instance of a class from module (({XMLRPC::XMLParser})). If this method is not called, then (({XMLRPC::Config::DEFAULT_PARSER})) is used. --- XMLRPC::Client#cookie --- XMLRPC::Client#cookie= (cookieString) Get and set the HTTP Cookie header. --- XMLRPC::Client#http_header_extra= (additionalHeaders) Set extra HTTP headers that are included in the request. --- XMLRPC::Client#http_header_extra Access the via (()) assigned header. --- XMLRPC::Client#http_last_response Returns the (({Net::HTTPResponse})) object of the last RPC. = XMLRPC::Client::Proxy == Synopsis require "xmlrpc/client" server = XMLRPC::Client.new("www.ruby-lang.org", "/RPC2", 80) michael = server.proxy("michael") michael2 = server.proxy("michael", 4) # both calls should return the same value '9'. p michael.add(4,5) p michael2.add(5) == Description Class (({XMLRPC::Client::Proxy})) makes XML-RPC calls look nicer! You can call any method onto objects of that class - the object handles (({method_missing})) and will forward the method call to a XML-RPC server. Don't use this class directly, but use instead method (()) or (()). == Class Methods --- XMLRPC::Client::Proxy.new( server, prefix, args=[], meth=:call, delim="." ) Creates an object which provides (({method_missing})). ((|server|)) must be of type (({XMLRPC::Client})), which is the XML-RPC server to be used for a XML-RPC call. ((|prefix|)) and ((|delim|)) will be prepended to the methodname called onto this object. Parameter ((|meth|)) is the method (call, call2, call_async, call2_async) to use for a RPC. ((|args|)) are arguments which are automatically given to every XML-RPC call before the arguments provides through (({method_missing})). == Instance Methods Every method call is forwarded to the XML-RPC server defined in (()). Note: Inherited methods from class (({Object})) cannot be used as XML-RPC names, because they get around (({method_missing})). = History $Id$ =end require "xmlrpc/parser" require "xmlrpc/create" require "xmlrpc/config" require "xmlrpc/utils" # ParserWriterChooseMixin require "net/http" module XMLRPC class Client USER_AGENT = "XMLRPC::Client (Ruby #{RUBY_VERSION})" include ParserWriterChooseMixin include ParseContentType # Constructors ------------------------------------------------------------------- def initialize(host=nil, path=nil, port=nil, proxy_host=nil, proxy_port=nil, user=nil, password=nil, use_ssl=nil, timeout=nil) @http_header_extra = nil @http_last_response = nil @cookie = nil @host = host || "localhost" @path = path || "/RPC2" @proxy_host = proxy_host @proxy_port = proxy_port @proxy_host ||= 'localhost' if @proxy_port != nil @proxy_port ||= 8080 if @proxy_host != nil @use_ssl = use_ssl || false @timeout = timeout || 30 if use_ssl require "net/https" @port = port || 443 else @port = port || 80 end @user, @password = user, password set_auth # convert ports to integers @port = @port.to_i if @port != nil @proxy_port = @proxy_port.to_i if @proxy_port != nil # HTTP object for synchronous calls Net::HTTP.version_1_2 @http = Net::HTTP.new(@host, @port, @proxy_host, @proxy_port) @http.use_ssl = @use_ssl if @use_ssl @http.read_timeout = @timeout @http.open_timeout = @timeout @parser = nil @create = nil end class << self def new2(uri, proxy=nil, timeout=nil) if match = /^([^:]+):\/\/(([^@]+)@)?([^\/]+)(\/.*)?$/.match(uri) proto = match[1] user, passwd = (match[3] || "").split(":") host, port = match[4].split(":") path = match[5] if proto != "http" and proto != "https" raise "Wrong protocol specified.
