XML RPC not working

[mazimkhan]

Hi

I have TestLink version 1.9.14 (Padawan). When I do an XML RPC request I get following error:

XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.

Hello Mohammad,

it seems, that you send directly a rpc method call countProjects to your TL server. This will confuse the TL server, because this method is not declared as an supported rpc api inside his php sources.

countProjects is a method only know by the python class TestlinkAPIClient, which send a getProjects RPC call to the TL server and evaluates the responds.

My suggestion is, please take a look into the example https://github.com/lczub/TestLink-API-Python-client/blob/master/example/TestLinkExample.py#L683
It shows, how you can initiate the python api client and communicate with the TL server.

Hope this helps,
Regards Luiko

The supported xml rpc call getProjetcs looks like
<?xml version='1.0'?> <methodCall> <methodName>tl.getProjects</methodName> <params> <param> <value> <struct> <member> <name>devKey</name> <value> <string>007</string> </value> </member> </struct> </value> </param> </params> </methodCall>
