XMLRPCServer {rneos}

Create an instance of an XMLRPCServer object

Description

The XMLRPCServer class is a means to identify a string as the URL of an XML-RPC server. We can then use this to invoke a method provided by the server either via a call to xml.rpc or via an expression of the form server$methodName(arg1, arg2, ...).

The XMLRPCServerConnection class allows us to associate a CURLHandle object with an XML-RPC server. This connection is then used in each of the calls to that server. This allows us to reuse a single curl connection to the server and also slightly simplifies passing it to each call.

Usage

XMLRPCServer(url, curl = NULL,
class = if (!is.null(curl)) "XMLRPCServerConnection" else
  "XMLRPCServer", ..., .opts = list(...))

Arguments

url

the URL for the XML-RPC server.

curl

either a logical value indicating whether to create a new CURLHandle object, or an instance of a CURLHandle or alternatively NULL. If CURL options are specified via the ... or .opts parameters, then a CURL handle is automatically created using these.

class

the name of the class to create.

...

name=value pairs of CURL options that are used to create a new CURLHandle object.

.opts

an alternative way to specify the CURL options for the handle to be created.

Value

An object of class given by the value of class.
