Detailed Description

A class to send XML RPC requests to a server and return the results.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

XmlRpcClient::XmlRpcClient (  const char *    host, int    port, const char *    uri = 0 )

Construct a client to connect to the server at the specified host:port address. Parameters: host  The name of the remote machine hosting the server port  The port on the remote machine where the server is listening uri  An optional string to be sent as the URI in the HTTP GET header

---

Member Function Documentation

bool XmlRpcClient::execute (  const char *    method, XmlRpcValue const &    params, XmlRpcValue &    result )

Execute the named procedure on the remote server. Parameters: method  The name of the remote procedure to execute params  An array of the arguments for the method result  The result value to be returned to the client Returns: true if the request was sent and a result received (although the result might be a fault). Currently this is a synchronous (blocking) implementation (execute does not return until it receives a response or an error). Use isFault() to determine whether the result is a fault response.

unsigned XmlRpcClient::handleEvent (  unsigned    eventType )  [virtual]

Handle server responses. Called by the event dispatcher during execute. Parameters: eventType  The type of event that occurred. See also: XmlRpcDispatch::EventType Implements XmlRpc::XmlRpcSource.
