xmlrpc-stream

Perform XML-RPC using any kind of stream!

Overview

xmlrpc-stream implements the XML and RPC bits of XML-RPC without the implied transport portion. Any duplex stream can be used as a transport.

Installation

Available via npm:

$ npm install xmlrpc-stream

Or via git:

$ git clone git://github.com/deoxxa/xmlrpc-stream.git node_modules/xmlrpc-stream

API

constructor

Creates a new RPC object. Expects a stream factory function as an argument. This factory function will be called whenever a transport is required (read: every single time you call a remote method).

new RPC(fn);
var rpc = new RPC(function() {
  return net.connect(3000, "127.0.0.1");
});

call

Calls a remote method by name, optionally with some parameters, then calls your callback with the result (or an error! woo!).

rpc.call(method, [arg1, [arg2, [argN ...]]], cb);
rpc.call("system.listMethods", function(err, res) {
  console.log(err, res);
});
 
// OR
 
rpc.call("system.methodSignature", "system.listMethods", function(err, res) {
  console.log(err, res);
});

Arguments

  • method - a string, naming the remote method to call.
  • argN - the parameters for the remote method.
  • cb - a callback to be called when the response comes in.

Example

Also see example.js. This uses scgi-stream as well, but you could just as easily replace that with net.connect or something if you had a remote server that supported XML-RPC over regular TCP sockets.

var scgi = require("scgi-stream"),
    RPC = require("xmlrpc-stream");
 
var rpc = new RPC(function() {
  return scgi.duplex({
    host: "127.0.0.1",
    port: 17199,
    path: "/",
  });
});
 
rpc.call("d.multicall", "default", "d.get_creation_date=", "d.get_bytes_done=", "d.get_directory=", "d.get_down_rate=", "d.get_up_rate=", "d.get_down_total=", "d.get_up_total=", function(err, res) {
  console.log(err, res);
});
