Synopsis

Documentation

type XmlRpcMethod = (MethodCall -> ServerResult, Signature) Source #

The type of XML-RPC methods on the server.

fun :: XmlRpcFun a => a -> XmlRpcMethod Source #

Turns any function (XmlRpcType t1, ..., XmlRpcType tn, XmlRpcType r) => t1 -> ... -> tn -> IO r into an XmlRpcMethod

handleCall :: (MethodCall -> ServerResult) -> String -> IO ByteString Source #

Reads a method call from a string, uses the supplied method to generate a response and returns that response as a string

methods :: [(String, XmlRpcMethod)] -> MethodCall -> ServerResult Source #

An XmlRpcMethod that looks up the method name in a table and uses that method to handle the call.

cgiXmlRpcServer :: [(String, XmlRpcMethod)] -> IO () Source #

A CGI-based XML-RPC server. Reads a request from standard input and writes some HTTP headers (Content-Type and Content-Length), followed by the response to standard output. Supports introspection.
