  • Fixed a problem in getXmlValue where if the value was not a recognized type (i.e. not string, boolean, number, struct or array) it would generate an error because we were calling a routine that is not defined in Node.js. This should be fixed in version 0.4.26.

  • Fix in the davexmlrpc package in xmlRpcClient. The error messaging code assumed that err was non-null, but the error could have been caused by response.statusCode not being 200. I fixed it so it no longer fails in that case and produces an appropriate message in the console.

  • Let's go ahead and do the switchover
    • xmlrpc.scripting.com becomes 1998.xmlrpc.com
    • xmlrpc.scripting.com redirects to xmlrpc.com
    • js.xmlrpc.com becomes xmlrpc.com
  • breakage
    • This will break links to pages on xmlrpc.scripting.com other than the main pages, the home page and the spec. All others will fail. This can be fixed by re-generating the pages at teh same url on the new site. Something that's doable.
  • Let's get the notes page on the new site too.

  • New Shareable URL command in Tests menu in XML-RPC Debugger app.
    • choose the command and the browser opens a new tab with the params in the dialog in the URL. this makes docs and demos easier to share.
    • here's an example of a URL it generates.
  • Commented random debugging code.
  • Testing code.
    • tcp.dns.getdottedid ("betty.scripting.com")
      • "157.230.11.43"
    • ["xmlrpc://betty.scripting.com/RPC2"].examples.getStateName (19)
      • "Maine"
    • ["xmlrpc://betty.userland.com:5392/RPC2"].examples.getStateName (19)
      • "Maine"

  • My next project is to find out how much life is left in XML-RPC.
  • I'm going to do a simple update to the client test app, allowing you to enter the URL of an XML-RPC endpoint. Click the button to have the standard test suite, from 15 years ago, run against the server. A report displays how the server did.
