XMLRPC::Transport::HTTUser Contributed Perl DocumentXMLRPC::Transport::HTTP(3)NAMEXMLRPC::Transport::HTTP - Server/Client side HTTP support for XML-
RPC::Lite
SYNOPSIS
Client
use XMLRPC::Lite
proxy => 'http://localhost/',
# proxy => 'http://localhost/cgi-bin/xmlrpc.cgi', # local CGI server
# proxy => 'http://localhost/', # local daemon server
# proxy => 'http://login:password@localhost/cgi-bin/xmlrpc.cgi', # local CGI server with authentication
;
print getStateName(1);
CGI server
use XMLRPC::Transport::HTTP;
my $server = XMLRPC::Transport::HTTP::CGI
-> dispatch_to('methodName')
-> handle
;
Daemon server
use XMLRPC::Transport::HTTP;
my $daemon = XMLRPC::Transport::HTTP::Daemon
-> new (LocalPort => 80)
-> dispatch_to('methodName')
;
print "Contact to XMLRPC server at ", $daemon->url, "\n";
$daemon->handle;
DESCRIPTION
This class encapsulates all HTTP related logic for a XMLRPC server,
independent of what web server it's attached to. If you want to use
this class you should follow simple guideline mentioned above.
PROXY SETTINGS
You can use any proxy setting you use with LWP::UserAgent modules:
XMLRPC::Lite->proxy('http://endpoint.server/',
proxy => ['http' => 'http://my.proxy.server']);
or
$xmlrpc->transport->proxy('http' => 'http://my.proxy.server');
should specify proxy server for you. And if you use "HTTP_proxy_user"
and "HTTP_proxy_pass" for proxy authorization SOAP::Lite should know
how to handle it properly.
COOKIE-BASED AUTHENTICATION
use HTTP::Cookies;
my $cookies = HTTP::Cookies->new(ignore_discard => 1);
# you may also add 'file' if you want to keep them between sessions
my $xmlrpc = XMLRPC::Lite->proxy('http://localhost/');
$xmlrpc->transport->cookie_jar($cookies);
Cookies will be taken from response and provided for request. You may
always add another cookie (or extract what you need after response)
with HTTP::Cookies interface.
You may also do it in one line:
$xmlrpc->proxy('http://localhost/',
cookie_jar => HTTP::Cookies->new(ignore_discard => 1));
COMPRESSION
XMLRPC::Lite provides you option for enabling compression on wire (for
HTTP transport only). Both server and client should support this capa-
bility, but this logic should be absolutely transparent for your appli-
cation. Server will respond with encoded message only if client can
accept it (client sends Accept-Encoding with 'deflate' or '*' values)
and client has fallback logic, so if server doesn't understand speci-
fied encoding (Content-Encoding: deflate) and returns proper error code
(415 NOT ACCEPTABLE) client will repeat the same request not encoded
and will store this server in per-session cache, so all other requests
will go there without encoding.
Having options on client and server side that let you specify threshold
for compression you can safely enable this feature on both client and
server side.
Compression will be enabled on client side IF: threshold is specified
AND size of current message is bigger than threshold AND module Com-
press::Zlib is available. Client will send header 'Accept-Encoding'
with value 'deflate' if threshold is specified AND module Com-
press::Zlib is available.
Server will accept compressed message if module Compress::Zlib is
available, and will respond with compressed message ONLY IF: threshold
is specified AND size of current message is bigger than threshold AND
module Compress::Zlib is available AND header 'Accept-Encoding' is pre-
sented in request.
