Is there a working version of XMLRPC server? After installing via "ConfigurationOfXMLRPC project latestVersion load: 'All'." the server tests seem to hang indefinitely on both Pharo 1.1.1 and Squeak 4.1.

Thanks.
Sean

The tests have some problems, but the server works fine.

Re: XMLRPC server

Hi:

Yes, I'm working on that project.

First Step: I added struc support to client and solved some decoding
struct problems. I tried using against snipplr and flickr and seems to
work ok. Also added ByteString support.

Second Step: Client tests, I solved some problems with the first tests
that are now green and am now on the process of check the tests that
involve server stuff.

In the maintime we talked also with the Esug people of try to
integrate Zinc components instead the current httpsocket and Comanche.

Will be working on these topics and the documentation will be on the
project page (http://code.google.com/p/pharo-xmlrpc/ ).

I also noted the hanging of the tests and I'm still trying to
understand how they work and so.

Let me know if I can help.

Cheers.
Germán.

That is weird. The problem may come from XMLRPCProxy (in my tests, I
tried with a python xmlrpc client).

For the time being, this file in will get my above example working - Object-asXMLRPCString.st

Thanks for working on this Germán!

I keep an XmlRpc server running in my personal image so that I can script OS X with Smalltalk. I just set up shortcuts in FastScripts to Ruby one-liners that make the XMLRPC calls to the image.

The script in the image below with ctrl-t shortcut in Safari evaluates a Smalltalk method:

sean what kind of script do you run?

I've been wrapping the world in Smalltalk. Some of the scripts that are working/almost-there:
* wrapped google book search so that when I start reading an eBook in Mac's Preview, it gets entered into my developing library app in my image
* wrapped bit.ly's API (used in the above-referenced script), so that the "tweet a page" script takes me into my image with the URL shortened and a TextMorph to enter my tweet, then uses Applescript to submit the Tweet (a hack because Twitter's authentication process for non-web apps fried my brain)

Hi (again):

With the new Alpha version of XMLRPC the server works. The error you
reported was by a missing method in Dictionary.

Ask by any doubt, please.

Cheers.

Re: XMLRPC server

A bit more of data:

To install latest versions:

ConfigurationOfXMLRPC project latestVersion load: 'All'.

(Will install client,server and tests of both).

I tried in Pharo 1.1.1 and I've still 2 failing tests on server.

Now tried in Pharo 1.2 and seems that 3 tests are failing here.

I will be working on these issues on the next days, focusing on Pharo 1.1.1.

About Squeak, seems that in 4.2 the HttpSocket was redesigned and is
to hook some other http client, then XMLRPC don't works anymore.

By now XMLRPC is based on HTTPSocket and my goal is release a Beta
version soon, with not failing tests.

Later we can talk and decide about the HTTP client to use and/or the
squeak compatibility.

Cheers.

Germán.
