Useful XML-RPC links
2nd September 2002
Some useful XML-RPC links (before I forget):
- The XML-RPC Specification—concise and readable.
- The XML-RPC Validator—a useful validation suite to ensure your XML-RPC implementation is up to scratch. Mine currently fails two of the tests listed, so there’s definitely room for improvement.
- O’Reilly’s invaluable Python XML-RPC tutorial. The Python interactive interpreter (with Python’s xmlrpclib module) remains my preferred way of testing and debugging XML-RPC servers.
