Detailed Description

The xmlrpc::Client class provides an implementation of the XML-RPC client.

The class works asynchronously, so there are no blocking functions.

Each XML-RPC request has unique identifier, which is returned by xmlrpc::Client::request() and is emited with done() and failed() signals.

 client = new xmlrpc::Client(this);
 connect( client, SIGNAL(done( int, QVariant )),
          this, SLOT(processReturnValue( int, QVariant )) );
 connect( client, SIGNAL(failed( int, int, QString )),
          this, SLOT(processFault( int, int, QString )) );
 
 client->setHost( "localhost", 7777 );
 
 int requestId = client->request( "sum", x, y )

After the request is finished, done() or failed() signal will be emited with the request id and return value or fault information.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

xmlrpc::Client::Client ( QObject * parent = 0 )

Constructs a XmlRPC client.

References authenticationRequired(), and proxyAuthenticationRequired().

xmlrpc::Client::Client	(	const QString &	hostName,
		quint16	port = `80`,
		QObject *	parent = `0L`
	)

Constructs a XmlRPC client for communication with XmlRPC server running on host hostName port.

References setHost().

xmlrpc::Client::~Client ( ) [virtual]

Destroys the XmlRPC client.

Member Function Documentation

int xmlrpc::Client::request	(	QString	methodName,
		Variant	param1
	)

Call method methodName on server side with one parameter. This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

References request().

int xmlrpc::Client::request	(	QString	methodName,
		Variant	param1,
		Variant	param2
	)

Call method methodName on server side with two parameters. This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

References request().

int xmlrpc::Client::request	(	QString	methodName,
		Variant	param1,
		Variant	param2,
		Variant	param3
	)

Call method methodName on server side with three parameters. This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

References request().

int xmlrpc::Client::request	(	QString	methodName,
		Variant	param1,
		Variant	param2,
		Variant	param3,
		Variant	param4
	)

Call method methodName on server side with four parameters. This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

References request().

int xmlrpc::Client::request	(	QList< Variant >	params,
		QString	methodName
	)

Call method methodName on server side with parameters list params. Returns id of request, used in done() and failed() signals.

The parameters order is changed in overloaded methods to avoid situation when the only parameter is the list.

 QList<xmlrpc::Variant> parameter;
 ...
 int requestId = client->request( methodName, parameter );

This leads to this method be called, with parameter treated as parameters list. It's possible to fix this with next code:

 client->request( methodName, xmlrpc::Variant(parameter) );

but to avoid such kind of bugs, the parameters order in overloaded methods was changed.

int xmlrpc::Client::request ( QString methodName )

Call method methodName on server side with empty parameters list. This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

References request().

void xmlrpc::Client::setHost	(	const QString &	hostName,
		quint16	port = `80`,
		QString	path = `"/"`
	)

Sets the XML-RPC server that is used for requests to hostName on port port and path .

Referenced by Client().

void xmlrpc::Client::setProxy	(	const QString &	host,
		int	port,
		const QString &	userName = `QString()`,
		const QString &	password = `QString()`
	)

Enables HTTP proxy support, using the proxy server host on port port. username and password can be provided if the proxy server requires authentication.

void xmlrpc::Client::setSocket ( QTcpSocket * socket )

Replaces the internal QTcpSocket that QHttp uses with socket. This can be useful for adding https support with QtSslSocket.

Check {http://trolltech.com/products/qt/addon/solutions/catalog/4/Utilities/qtsslsocket/} and QHttp::setSocket() for more information.

void xmlrpc::Client::setUser	(	const QString &	userName,
		const QString &	password = `QString()`
	)

Set the user name userName and password password for XML-RPC ( or http ) server that require authentication.

void xmlrpc::Client::setUserAgent ( const QString & userAgent )

Set the user agent HTTP value instead of default "QXMLRPC"
