クラスの継承リスト: XMLRPC::Client < Object < Kernel < BasicObject
Class XMLRPC::Client provides remote procedure calls to a XML-RPC server.
After setting the connection-parameters with XMLRPC::Client.new which creates a new XMLRPC::Client instance, you can execute a remote procedure by sending the XMLRPC::Client#call or XMLRPC::Client#call2 message to this new instance. The given parameters indicate which method to call on the remote-side and of course the parameters for the remote procedure.
require "xmlrpc/client"
server = XMLRPC::Client.new("www.ruby-lang.org", "/RPC2", 80)
begin
param = server.call("michael.add", 4, 5)
puts "4 + 5 = #{param}"
rescue XMLRPC::FaultException => e
puts "Error:"
puts e.faultCode
puts e.faultString
end
or
require "xmlrpc/client"
server = XMLRPC::Client.new("www.ruby-lang.org", "/RPC2", 80)
ok, param = server.call2("michael.add", 4, 5)
if ok then
puts "4 + 5 = #{param}"
else
puts "Error:"
puts param.faultCode
puts param.faultString
end
new(host=nil, path=nil, port=nil, proxy_host=nil, proxy_port=nil, user=nil, password=nil, use_ssl=false, timeout =nil)[permalink][rdoc]Creates an object which represents the remote XML-RPC server on the given host host. If the server is CGI-based, path is the path to the CGI-script, which will be called, otherwise (in the case of a standalone server) path should be "/RPC2". port is the port on which the XML-RPC server listens. If proxy_host is given, then a proxy server listening at proxy_host is used. proxy_port is the port of the proxy server.
Default values for host, path and port are 'localhost', '/RPC2' and '80' respectively using SSL '443'.
If user and password are given, each time a request is send, a Authorization header is send. Currently only Basic Authentification is implemented no Digest.
If use_ssl is set to true, comunication over SSL is enabled. Note, that you need the SSL package from RAA installed.
Parameter timeout is the time to wait for a XML-RPC response, defaults to 30.
new2(uri, proxy=nil, timeout=nil)[permalink][rdoc]new_from_uri(uri, proxy=nil, timeout=nil)URI specifying protocol (http or https), host, port, path, user and password. Example: https://user:password@host:port/path
Is of the form "host:port".
Defaults to 30.
new3(hash={})[permalink][rdoc]new_from_hash(hash={})Parameter hash has following case-insensitive keys:
Calls XMLRPC::Client.new with the corresponding values.
call(method, *args)[permalink][rdoc]Invokes the method named method with the parameters given by args on the XML-RPC server. The parameter method is converted into a String and should be a valid XML-RPC method-name. Each parameter of args must be of one of the following types, where Hash, Struct and Array can contain any of these listed ((:types:)):
The method returns the return-value from the RPC ((-stands for Remote Procedure Call-)). The type of the return-value is one of the above shown, only that a Bignum is only allowed when it fits in 32-bit and that a XML-RPC (('dateTime.iso8601')) type is always returned as a XMLRPC::DateTime object and a Struct is never returned, only a Hash, the same for a Symbol, where always a String is returned. A XMLRPC::Base64 is returned as a String from xmlrpc4r version 1.6.1 on.
If the remote procedure returned a fault-structure, then a XMLRPC::FaultException exception is raised, which has two accessor-methods faultCode and faultString of type Integer and String.
call2(method, *args)[permalink][rdoc]The difference between this method and XMLRPC::Client#call is, that this method do ((*not*)) raise a XMLRPC::FaultException exception. The method returns an array of two values. The first value indicates if the second value is a return-value (true) or an object of type XMLRPC::FaultException. Both are explained in XMLRPC::Client#call.
Simple to remember: The "2" in "call2" denotes the number of values it returns.
call_async(...)[permalink][rdoc]call2_async(...)multicall_async(...)multicall2_async(...)proxy_async(...)proxy2_async(...)In contrast to corresponding methods without "_async", these can be called concurrently and use for each request a new connection, where the non-asynchronous counterparts use connection-alive (one connection for all requests) if possible.
Note, that you have to use Threads to call these methods concurrently. The following example calls two methods concurrently:
Thread.new {
p client.call_async("michael.add", 4, 5)
}
Thread.new {
p client.call_async("michael.div", 7, 9)
}
cookie[permalink][rdoc]cookie=()Get and set the HTTP Cookie header.
http_header_extra[permalink][rdoc]Access the via XMLRPC::Client#http_header_extra= assigned header.
http_header_extra=()[permalink][rdoc]Set extra HTTP headers that are included in the request.
http_last_response[permalink][rdoc]Returns the Net::HTTPResponse object of the last RPC.
multicall(*methods)[permalink][rdoc]You can use this method to execute several methods on a XMLRPC server which supports the multi-call extension. Example:
s.multicall( ['michael.add', 3, 4], ['michael.sub', 4, 5] ) # => [7, -1]
multicall2(*methods)[permalink][rdoc]Same as XMLRPC::Client#multicall, but returns like XMLRPC::Client#call2 two parameters instead of raising an XMLRPC::FaultException.
timeout[permalink][rdoc]userpasswordReturn the corresponding attributes.
timeout=()[permalink][rdoc]user=()password=()Set the corresponding attributes.
proxy(prefix, *args)[permalink][rdoc]Returns an object of class XMLRPC::Client::Proxy, initialized with prefix and args. A proxy object returned by this method behaves like XMLRPC::Client#call, i.e. a call on that object will raise a XMLRPC::FaultException when a fault-structure is returned by that call.
proxy2(prefix, *args)[permalink][rdoc]Almost the same like XMLRPC::Client#proxy only that a call on the returned XMLRPC::Client::Proxy object behaves like XMLRPC::Client#call2, i.e. a call on that object will return two parameters.
set_parser(parser)[permalink][rdoc]Sets the XML parser to use for parsing XML documents. Should be an instance of a class from module XMLRPC::XMLParser. If this method is not called, then XMLRPC::Config::DEFAULT_PARSER is used.
set_writer(writer)[permalink][rdoc]Sets the XML writer to use for generating XML output. Should be an instance of a class from module XMLRPC::XMLWriter. If this method is not called, then XMLRPC::Config::DEFAULT_WRITER is used.
