[sr-dev] Should mi_xmlrpc be obsolete?

[Muhammad Shahzad]

No, the patch does not update docs or Makefile. It just adds some ifdef to
couple of header files which enables / disables or fixes the missing data
structures. I am attaching patch here again for your reference.

The version xmlrpc-c installed my production is 1.35.99 which is i guess is
git version.

ms11:/usr/src/svn-src# xmlrpc-c-config --version
1.35.99

However, i did test it with wheezy default xmlrpc-c version 1.16.33 on my
test machine. Both of these are working with Kamailio v4.0.1 (by manual
patching using attached file) and v4.0.4 (patch already included in git
source).

ms11:/usr/src/svn-src# kamailio -version

I haven't tested it on CentOS yet, I will check that tonight.

Thank you.
