[sr-dev] xmlrcp request takes very long time

[Juha Heinanen]

i wrote in python a simple text that sends domain_reload command over s
xmlrpc interface to sr:

---------------------------------------------------------------
import xmlrpclib

XMLRPC_PROTOCOL = 'http'
XMLRPC_SERVER   = '127.0.0.1'
XMLRPC_PORT	= 6060

server_path = XMLRPC_PROTOCOL + '://' +  XMLRPC_SERVER + \
		':' +  str(XMLRPC_PORT)

c = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(server_path)

erg = c.domain_reload()
----------------------------------------------------------------

when i execute the program, ngrep immediately prints what one would
expect:

T 2009/07/04 17:20:02.455028 127.0.0.1:33418 -> 127.0.0.1:6060 [AP]
  POST /RPC2 HTTP/1.0..Host: 127.0.0.1:6060..User-Agent: xmlrpclib.py/1.0.1 (

  ame>.<value><int>500</int></value>.</member>.<member>.<name>faultString</na
  me>.<value><string>Method Not Found</string></value>.</member>.</struct>.</
  value>.</fault>.</methodResponse>

however, python client program does not terminate until after more
than 2 minutes.  then it finally prints:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "sr-xmlrpc.py", line 15, in <module>
    erg = c.domain_reload()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/xmlrpclib.py", line 1147, in __call__
    return self.__send(self.__name, args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/xmlrpclib.py", line 1437, in __request
    verbose=self.__verbose
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/xmlrpclib.py", line 1201, in request
    return self._parse_response(h.getfile(), sock)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/xmlrpclib.py", line 1340, in _parse_response
    return u.close()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/xmlrpclib.py", line 787, in close
    raise Fault(**self._stack[0])
xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 500: 'Method Not Found'>

i also tested with a php xmlrcp client with same result.

any idea why it takes so long and why parsing of response fails?  is
something missing from the response?
