# simple test program (from the XML-RPC specification) from xmlrpclib import ServerProxy, Error # server = ServerProxy("http://localhost:8000") # local server server = ServerProxy("http://betty.userland.com") print server try: print server.examples.getStateName(41) except Error, v: print "ERROR", v
To access an XML-RPC server through a proxy, you need to define a custom transport. The following example, written by NoboNobo, shows how:
import xmlrpclib, httplib class ProxiedTransport(xmlrpclib.Transport): def set_proxy(self, proxy): self.proxy = proxy def make_connection(self, host): self.realhost = host h = httplib.HTTP(self.proxy) return h def send_request(self, connection, handler, request_body): connection.putrequest("POST", 'http://%s%s' % (self.realhost, handler)) def send_host(self, connection, host): connection.putheader('Host', self.realhost) p = ProxiedTransport() p.set_proxy('proxy-server:8080') server = xmlrpclib.Server('http://time.xmlrpc.com/RPC2', transport=p) print server.currentTime.getCurrentTime()
