XML-RPC

(require (planet jaymccarthy/xml-rpc:1:1))

This package is based on the XML-RPC package by Matt Jadud and Noel Welsh of Untyped

This library implements the XML-RPC protocol, a popular protocol for interface to Internet services such as blog engines, as specified at http://www.xmlrpc.com/spec.

1 Clients

(require (planet jaymccarthy/xml-rpc:1:1/client))

The client library provides a few forms for defining servers and their supported endpoints.

((xml-rpc-server url) method) → procedure?

url : url?

method : symbol?

Returns a function configured to make XML-RPC requests to the given URL. The function accepts a string, the name of the method, and returns a function of any arguments which calls the method with the given arguments.

This example calls the examples.getStateName method on the server betty.userland.com:

Examples:
  (define betty
    (xml-rpc-server (string->url "http://betty.userland.com/RPC2")))

  (define get-state-name (betty 'examples.getStateName))

  > (get-state-name 42)
  "Tennessee"

2 Servers

(require (planet jaymccarthy/xml-rpc:1:1/server))

The server library provides

(make-handle-xml-rpc exports) → (request? . -> . response/c)

exports : (hash/c symbol? procedure?)

Returns a function from HTTP requests encoding XML-RPC queries to HTTP responses encoding XML-RPC answers that computes answers by calling the procedure associated with the XML-RPC method name in the exports hash table.

Examples:
  (define (add x y) (+ x y))

  (define xml-rpc-adder
    (make-handle-xml-rpc
     (hasheq 'math.add add
             'math.+ +
             'addFun add)))

  (define (run-server!)
    (serve/servlet xml-rpc-adder))

3 Errors

(struct exn:xml-rpc exn (message continuation-marks))
message : string?
continuation-marks : continuation-mark-set?

A subtype of exn, this exception is raised whenever the XML-RPC library encounters an error.

(struct	exn:xml-rpc:fault exn:xml-rpc	(	message
			continuation-marks
			code))

message : string?

continuation-marks : continuation-mark-set?

code : integer?

A subtype of exn:xml-rpc, this exception is raised when the XML-RPC server responds to the client with a fault. The code is an integer containing the fault code returned by the server. The fault message returned by the server is contained in the exception message.
