[Devel] Xmlrpc Module

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Juha,

with the new MI interface there is no difference between the functions 
accessible via fifo or xmlrpc, via sockunix or whatever - the function 
name and its implementation is unique and it  can be triggered via all 
present transport mechanism (fifo & xmlrpc for the moment) - the name 
and the parameters are the same, disregarding the transport.

so, yes, you can access the "lcr_reload" command via xmlrpc.

As  said, the params are the same, but in MI there is no line concept; 
the parameter are nodes and the mapping between the nodes and input is 
done by the transport layer.

How fifo maps, see:
    http://www.openser.org/docs/modules/1.2.x/mi_fifo.html#AEN40
(basically a node is a line, but a node can be multi-line if quoted).

For xmlrpc, things are much simpler - an xml param node is a MI node.


Ex:
    FIFO
:get_statistics:xxxxxx
core:

    XMLRPC
<methodCall>
 <methodName>get_statistics</methodName>
 <params>
  <param>
   <value><string>core:</string></value>
  </param>
  <param>
   <value><string>sl:</string></value>
  </param>
 </params>
</methodCall>

regarding the security concerns - I agree it is good to have, but I 
think it is easier and more powerful do do it from iptables.

Regards,
Bogdan
