Hi! Im currently writing a plugin for a custom forum system and wondered whether there exist some "debug client" (on the PC) I can use to verify my implementation of the api? I rather dont want to register a "real" forum and use the iPhone/droid-app, as a) it would require my dev. box to be exposed to the net b) takes longer/more steps to run a debug session c) harder to interpret the "traffic" between client&server Thanks, Johan
Hello Johan, You can use the open source php xmlrpc debugger, which we are hosting it at www.quoord.com/xmlrpc Let us know if you have trouble using it, it is fairly simple as long as you figure out the xmlrpc parameters format.
Uhm yeah, but that requires my box to be addressable over http from the net., which in turn forces me to go down to MIS and plea to them to open up the firewall and let me have a dedicated IP et.c.... Nah, I'll stick with my small hacked-up httppost-utlity, it does pretty much the same thing only locally and a lot less "fancy" (but it can persist cookies between calls so I can maintain sessionsstate). Thanks anyway! Regards, johan
You can download and install the very same debugger yourself, within your firewall. http://phpxmlrpc.sourceforge.net/
