Perl Module RPC::XML Change History
Revision history for the Perl extension module
RPC::XML. This is an implementation of the
XML-RPC standard as described at the URL
"http://www.xmlrpc.com". This implementation
also permits some minor extensions to the base
protocol in terms of supporting HTTP/1.1 and
allowing choice of character-set encodings for
XML messages.

Also made changes based on Perl::Critic.
* MANIFEST
* lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm
* lib/RPC/XML/Parser/XMLParser.pm
Expanded definition of the interface to include push-parsing
methods. Documented these and added stubs to
RPC::XML::Parser::XMLParser that throw exceptions when called
by a non-push-parser instance. Reflected changes to test suite
in MANIFEST.

Interim fix for encoding issues, prior to the mega-encoding
work. This makes the library correctly create octet-based
messages, rather than letting UTF-8 leak in if it was passed in
initially.
* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm
* lib/RPC/XML.pm
* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm
Follow-up to previous commit, some serialization-related
problems. Not all instances of bytelength() had been removed
after the previous slate of changes, and once that was done
some tests in 15_serialize.t broke.
* lib/RPC/XML.pm

RT #34132: Based on a patch from the requestor, added support

lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm to address RT #42033.
* t/40_server.t

RT #27778: Fix problems with child-process management on
Windows that was causing t/40_server.t to hang during test

according to the person reporting, it doesn't work at all on

RT ticket #35106: Make the behavior of RPC::XML::array

0.64 Monday September 29, 2008, 04:15:00 AM -0700
* t/40_server.t, revision 361
Further flexibility on the test of $srv->url(). This should
(finally) catch any variation of 127.* address and/or
host/domain naming that aliases to "localhost".
* lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm, revision 363
* t/20_parser.t, revision 363
Lingering problem from RT ticket #30354, RPC::XML::Parser did
not get the change committed that included parser-level support
for <i8>. Also added tests for parsing RPC::XML::request
objects and all the data-type objects to the parser test suite
(had they been there before, I would have caught this myself).
0.63 Friday September 19, 2008, 02:23:12 AM -0700
* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 359
Forgot to increment $VERSION before the previous commit. Won't
show up in CPAN as an available update otherwise.
0.62 Friday September 19, 2008, 02:12:02 AM -0700
* t/40_server.t, revision 355
Extended the die message when $srv fails to allocate. Some
testers are getting a failure here but I have no idea how or
why.
* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 356
Testers-service reports showed that the new i8 type was not
auto-boxing correctly on true 64-bit machines. Turns out I had
bogus values for the maximums and minimums, not just for 8-byte
ints but also for plain 4-byte ones as well.
0.61 Monday September 15, 2008, 01:38:44 AM -0700
* t/00_load.t, revision 346
Converted to Test::More due to some cpan-testers reports that
showed test 2 failing. Hoping this might provide better
feedback if it continues to fail.
* t/40_server.t, revision 347
Changed a test for "localhost:$port" in the server URL method
to optionally allow localhost.localdomain, for those systems
whose /etc/hosts cause the former to convert to the latter. Was
causing false failures.
* t/40_server.t, revision 348
* t/50_client.t, revision 348
* t/60_net_server.t, revision 348
Test suites armored against server processes that die as a
result of croak() or other calls within 3rd-party modules. The
client and net_server suites were also converted to Test::More
at this time.
* t/40_server.t, revision 349
Fix for RT ticket #36078, fix the URL testing on the server
object to be less strict. Instead of only allowing "localhost",
now also allows "localhost.localdomain" and does a look-up of
"localhost" for the 127.* IP address and permits that as well.
In essence, this extends and supercedes the second change
listed above after more invariant cases were discovered.
* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 350
* t/10_data.t, revision 350
Per RT ticket #30354 and specific request from a large agency
using this package, implemented an "i8" type as an extension to
the official XML-RPC specification. Documentation and tests
included.
* t/40_server.t, revision 352
* t/60_net_server.t, revision 352
Some of the work in armoring the test suites against
server-death changed the counts on tests and on call-counts in
the system.status method. Some explicit re-starts didn't help.

Related to the main change of RT ticket #30849, fixes potential
problem in the creation of temporary file names if a test
script is run directly from the "t" directory. While at it,
added a line with the Subversion "Id" keyword and set the
"svn:keywords" property on all test scripts. The code-fix is
based on suggestions from Jörg Meltzer <joerg@joergmeltzer.de>.
* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm, revision 329
Per RT ticket #30849, fix problem caused by having colons in
temp-file names. Fix largely from patch suggested by Jörg
Meltzer <joerg@joergmeltzer.de>.
* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm, revision 331
Applied a modified form of a patch submitted by Mike Rylander
<miker@n2bb.com> to make things work under SSL.
* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm, revision 332
* t/41_server_hang.t, revision 332 (added)
Fixed the bug in RPC::XML::Server::process_request() could lead
to an infinite loop if the client shuts down the socket before
the full request is sent. Added a test script specific to this
bug, to catch it if it reappears.
* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 333
* t/10_data.t, revision 333
Per RT ticket #30042, made a do-nothing branch in
RPC::XML::smart_encode actually die with an error when a
reference-type is passed in that cannot be converted. Added two
tests to cover this, and took the opportunity to convert
10_data.t to Test::More.
* t/40_server.t, revision 334
* t/50_client.t, revision 334
Applied a patch from Chris Darroch to make the spawning of
servers work in some corner-cases that were failing. All that
was required was explicit specification of 'localhost' in the
instantiation.
* lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm, revision 336
* t/20_parser.t, revision 336
Applied a patch from Masatake Daimon (大門正岳) to improve the
performance of the parser by reducing the (vast) number of
string-concat operations. During this change, re-wrote the
parser tests to use Test::More and have better diagnostics.
* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm, revision 337
* t/40_server.t, revision 337
Per RT ticket #29351, fixed a bug that caused a server to
incorrectly report the location and cause of an XML parsing
error in the request. The actual bug and solution were
different than initially reported in the ticket.
* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 338
* t/10_data.t, revision 338
Per RT ticket #31818, fix to the XML serialization of double
values to conform to the XML-RPC spec, as it does not allow for
exponential notation. This also required changes to the tests,
as values were no longer being auto-truncated at 5 decimal
places. Also finished cleaning up the t/10_data.t test suite
with diagnostic messages on the tests that had not previously
gotten them.
* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 339
* t/20_parser.t, revision 339
In response to concerns raised by a report of parsing problems,
added XML entity encoding for ' and " (' and ") to
the base RPC::XML module, and added a test to the parser suite
to make sure it is correctly turning all core XML entities back
into characters during the parsing process.
* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm, revision 341
* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm, revision 341
* t/40_server.t, revision 341
RT ticket #34557: Provide access to client-side connection info
to methods called on the server, by placing the data from
get_peeraddr() (as abstracted through existing methods in
HTTP::Daemon::ClientConn and Apache::Connection) into localized
keys on the server object, as is already done with the
method_name and signature pseudo-keys. Tests added to
40_server.t and docs updated.

value..." errors. Patch from Juan Camacho.
* t/01_pod.t, revision 1.1 (added)
* t/02_pod_coverage.t, revision 1.1 (added)
Two new unit-test suites added; the first checks the validity
of the POD docs in each module (correctness tests), the other
checks that POD covers all the publically-visible API routines
(coverage tests).

Fixes to POD documentation (and/or inline comments) as
uncovered by the added POD-oriented unit tests.
* MANIFEST, revision 1.17
* README.apache (deleted)
The README.apache file is no longer relevant.
* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm, revision 1.29
Fixed the logic around the setting of $no_def in new(); it was
handling the no_default method-argument backwards. Found by
Eric Cholet.
* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 1.36
* t/10_data.t, revision 1.11
Applied a patch from Jos Boumans to add flexibility to the
smart_encode() hack that tries to match bare Perl data to RPC
classes. At the same time, added documentation of the $ENCODE
global variable in the documentation.

* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 1.35
* t/10_data.t, revision 1.9
Applied patches from Stephen Veiss to fix a small bug in the
encoding method of RPC::XML::string. Trying to encode the
literal string "0" would result in a null string. The patches
provided the fix and a specific test-case for the related suite.
* lib/RPC/XML/Procedure.pm, revision 1.13
* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm, revision 1.43
Applied a patch from Mike Pomraning to allow user-level
functions to return RPC::XML::fault objects directly without
them being further wrapped by intermediate layers.
* lib/RPC/XML/Procedure.pm, revision 1.14
Implemented a modified version of a patch from Lubomir Host
that addresses an intermittent IOCTL problem when reading XPL
files.
* Makefile.PL, revision 1.38
Incremented package version number and put in warning of the
impending move to XML::LibXML.
0.57 Friday December 24, 2004, 03:02:48 AM -0800
* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm, revision 1.27
Some minor changes to how values are read from the
configuration, to reduce "use of uninitialized value" warnings
in regex operations.
* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 1.34
* t/10_data.t, revision 1.8
Based on a report from Brian Phillips, made adjustments in the
smart_encode helper-routine to deal with blessed references.
Anything that is derived from HASH or ARRAY is encoded as a
struct or array, respectively. Anything derived from SCALAR is
dereferenced and encoded as per usual. Carried this over to the
class constructors, with special attention to the
RPC::XML::simple_type class. Added tests to the suite for all
of this, as well.

* methods/status.help, revision 1.2
* t/40_server.t, revision 1.8
The "system.status" method (both the general one and the one
that is specific to Apache) now recognizes an optional boolean
parameter that can keep the status call from counting against
the "total_requests" struct value. This is to allow external
monitors (status, health, etc.) to use that call without
running up the value of that field needlessly.
0.56 Thursday December 9, 2004, 01:07:00 AM -0800
* etc/make_method, revision 1.10
Small change to the generated XML, to add an "encoding" setting
to the XML preamble.
* t/10_data.t, revision 1.7
* t/60_net_server.t, revision 1.4
Very minor changes, to make the test work with older Perls
and/or Test modules.
* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 1.31
Add "encoding" settings to all XML preambles, and make the
scalar variable "$RPC::XML::ENCODING" an importable symbol,
should users want to change the default encoding. Not currently
documented, since this is technically a break from the XML-RPC
spec.
* Makefile.PL, revision 1.35
* t/50_client.t, revision 1.8
Traced a bug that was causing test failures in 50_client.t to a
bug in version 5.800 of the LWP package. Now, Makefile.PL
explicitly requires 5.801 or higher, and the test suite skips
the two tests that are broken by it, in cases where the system
is still at 5.800 or older.
* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm, revision 1.21
Tightened some numeric comparisons (for deciding to compress
and/or spool to a file), and corrected a typo in an error
message.
* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 1.32
Adding the encoding to the request and response blocks messed
up some of the tests in the 10_data.t and 15_serialize.t
suites. Fixed.

0.55 Tuesday November 30, 2004, 01:16:57 AM -0800
* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm, revision 1.39
Fix from Thomax G. to the loop-invariance near line 1403, for a
bug that mostly appears with openACS-based clients.
* t/60_net_server.t, revision 1.3
Clarify in the message emitted why the tests are skipped when
Net::Server is not available.
* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm, revision 1.40
Fix based on input from several sources: The Content-Encoding
header was not being set correctly for responses when
compression was applied to the response message.
* lib/RPC/XML/Procedure.pm, revision 1.10
Applied a fix from the Debian maintainer of this package for
their distribution, David Parrish: auto-reloading of methods
was not actually stuffing the new data into the calling object.
* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm, revision 1.25
Applied a patch from a user to fix a problem with reading
PerlSetVar values withing a <Location> block (worked fine in
<Perl> blocks), as well as a small addition to the examples in
the docs.
* ChangeLog.xml, revision 1.1 (added)
* MANIFEST, revision 1.16
Added this file (ChangeLog.xml) to the distribution.
0.54 Wednesday April 14, 2004, 04:43:56 AM -0700
* Makefile.PL, revision 1.33
Extended $CLEAN to also remove *.ppd files, and bumped the
package version to 0.54.
* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 1.30
* lib/RPC/XML/Procedure.pm, revision 1.9
Applied a patch from Tim Peoples that does three things: the
301 error code in RPC::XML::Procedure::call now includes
signature info when a signature mismatch occurs.
RPC::XML::smart_encode turns undef values into zero-length
RPC::XML::string objects. Lastly, the
RPC::XML::string::as_string method turns undef into null values
as well.
* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 1.28
* t/10_data.t, revision 1.6
Small change to the XML character-escaping in
RPC::XML::string's as_string method, so that a lookup-table is
used. The same table is now used to escape keys in structs, as
well. Added tests to cover this. This was suggested by
Johnathan Kupferer.
* t/20_parser.t, revision 1.3
Made a small change for the sake of syntax pedantry.
* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm, revision 1.20
Fix to the error-handling for a failed LWP::UserAgent->request
call send_request (thanks to Jasper Cramwinckel). Also got a
small glitch covered in one of the calls to the inflate()
method in Compress::Zlib. Thanks to John Tobing for that one.
* lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm, revision 1.11
Dropped a regex-compare in favor of a string-compare for the
special case of the XML tag being dateTime.iso8601. In some
locales, the 'lc' caused problems. This is near line 288.
* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm, revision 1.23
Applied a patch to Apache::RPC::Server (supplied by Tim
Peoples) to support "NoCompression" as a PerlSetVar directive,
the function of which is to disable compression support upon
demand.
* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm, revision 1.24
Fixed two minor typo errors in the docs, the names of two of
the PerlSetVar directives.
* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 1.29
Added to the docs the fact that struct keys are now escaped.
Also put some coverage in the docs on the two ways of
initializing a struct object.
* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm, revision 1.38
Applied a patch from Chris Darroch to allow better handling of
arguments in RPC::XML::Server::server_loop. While the
HTTP::Daemon portion was fine with collapsing the arg list into
a hash, the Net::Server portion actually has documented
behavior when it sees the same argument more than once, and
collapsing to a hash caused these extra arguments to be lost.
0.53 Tuesday February 25, 2003, 01:12:11 AM -0800
* t/40_server.t, revision 1.7
Eliminate a warning under 5.00503.

* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm, revision 1.19
* lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm, revision 1.10
* t/50_client.t, revision 1.7
Changes to the opening of files for base64 data. The existing
method didn't work under 5.00503.
* t/15_serialize.t, revision 1.3
Added consideration to the filehandle-length tests for Win-ish
offsets.
* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 1.26
Added a forgotten binmode() call to an just-opened filehandle
in the base64-to-file support.
0.52 Monday February 10, 2003, 01:37:05 AM -0800
* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm, revision 1.37
Really got the warning in RPC::XML::Server.pm this time.
Really. Also got some potential errors that seem to be
overlooked under auto-loading but appear when auto-loading is
disabled.
* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm, revision 1.18
Fixed a potentially-confusing problem in the example code
within the RPC::XML::Client man page, just under "SYNOPSIS".
* spec.in, revision 1.4
More work to the spec.in RPM specfile template. The
Provides/Requires list should be a lot cleaner now, and it also
builds packages under rpm 4.1, now.
* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm, revision 1.22
Fixed a lurking bug in the Apache::RPC::Server class that was
not setting the headers properly on responses. Probably lived
this long because no one else but me was using it, and my
client is lax enough to ignore it.
0.51 Thursday January 30, 2003, 12:49:07 AM -0800
* t/11_base64_fh.t, revision 1.4
Removed an extraneous print line in t/11_base64_fh that caused
a warning on some systems.
* t/11_base64_fh.t, revision 1.5
* t/50_client.t, revision 1.6
Fixed calls to skip() in the test suites so that they work with
older versions of the Test module.
* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 1.24
* t/10_data.t, revision 1.5
* t/11_base64_fh.t, revision 1.6
Calls to the encode_base64 routine from MIME::Base64 now pass a
zero- length second argument, to suppress newlines between
Base64 lines when stringifying the RPC::XML::base64 objects.
This is to accomodate a broken Java XML-RPC package.
* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm, revision 1.36
Force a default value for the compress_re attribute in
RPC::XML::Server when none is otherwise present. All my tests
have had Compress::Zlib available, but when it isn't the
compress_re attribute was triggering warnings when used in a
regex.

* lib/RPC/XML/Procedure.pm
Changed the usage of =head3 directives in the manual page for
RPC::XML::Procedure to a =over/=back block instead. The =head3
directive requires a newer set of pod utilities, and would mean
the package had trouble building on 5.005 installations.
* lib/RPC/XML.pm
* t/11_base64_fh.t
Extended the RPC::XML::base64 class to allow for and handle
being given a filehandle object instead of straight data. The
object is kept as an open filehandle, and the buffer position
is always noted and reset when operated on, so that other parts
of the process using the handle don't get surprised. Added
tests in t/11_base64_fh.t to exercise this.
* lib/RPC/xML.pm
* t/15_serialize.t
Added a serialize() method to all the data classes in
preparation for changing the client and server modules to
stream XML over the line rather than print it using in-memory
strings. Added test suite t/15_serialize.t to exercise this.
* lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm
* t/20_parser.t
Modified RPC::XML::Parser to accept arguments to new() that
instruct it to spool Base64 data to a filehandle, using the new
capabilities of the base64 class described previously. Added
tests to t/20_parser.t and support for the parameters to the
constructors of the client and base server classes. Documented
all around.
* lib/RPC/XML.pm
Re-engineered the test for the "bytes" pragma in RPC::XML, so
that it now works with Perl 5.005.
* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm
Fixed the credentials() method in RPC::XML::Client.
* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm
* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm
* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
All the internal use of object attributes in RPC::XML::Client
now use accessors instead of the hash keys directly, to make it
easier to sub-class the package. The same was done in
RPC::XML::Server and to some degree in Apache::RPC::Server. The
server classes are more likely to have problems, though.
* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm
* lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm
* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
The parsing of incoming data in the client and both server
classes is now done to a streaming XML parser, eliminating the
need for the full message to ever be in memory at once.
Likewise, the client and server classes have new attributes and
accessor methods to allow them to spool outgoing messages to
files if the messages threaten to be too large to keep in
memory (this is best used when dealing with a lot of Base64
data that is being dealt with directly on disk as well).

* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm
Applied a patch from Andrew Langmead to fix a bug in the uri()
method of RPC::XML::Client. Prior, retrieving the value could
accidentally reset it. Applied another fix from him to prevent
a possible warning.
* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
Applied another patch to better handle testing of the
availability of compression in the client.
* Makefile.PL
Moving around some of the RPM spec-file generation caused
problems with some people trying to build the package if
spec.in was missing. Fixed this in Makefile.PL.
* lib/RPC/XML/Procedure.pm
Fix to RPC::XML::Procedure per tip from Stig Porsgaard, to fix
the reading of 'signature' arguments to new() when providing
all the proc data directly. Reported by others as well, but
Stig nailed it down to a specific line.

* lib/RPC/XML.pm
Fixed a problem in the test-usage of the bytes pragma in
RPC::XML, reported by Marc Jauvin.
* lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm
Closed a potential security hole in the parsing of external
entities, pointed out by Gregory Steuck.

* methods/methodSignature.code
* t/40_server.t
* t/60_net_server.t
Changed methods/methodSignature.code, t/40_server.t and
t/60_net_server.t so that the provided system.methodSignature
follows the accepted API (returns a list of lists, rather than
list of strings). Pointed out by Bjoern Stierand.
* lib/RPC/XML.pm
Added a missing helper (RPC_I4) to RPC::XML.pm.
* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm
Fixed a bad bug with the newly-added compression support in
Apache::RPC::Server::handler. Because $self was defined
earlier, strict failed to point out that my object in that
scope was called $srv, rather than $self. And $self->compress
didn't work, amazingly enough. Found and reported by Scott Fagg.
* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm
Added a credentials() method to the RPC::XML::Client class to
set Basic Authentication credentials on the underlying
LWP::UserAgent object. Per suggestion and sample implementation
from Stuart Clark.
* lib/RPC/XML.pm
* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
Fixed a docs-nit in RPC::XML::Server, and did some major
clean-up in the docs for RPC::XML. In particular, added
documentation for one of the data class methods that had been
overlooked ("type").

* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm
Changed the test in Apache::RPC::Server of the Content-type
