Markus Hoffrogge:
|
|
|
|
Compilation for WIN32 is possible now again for version 1.6.10 - non
|
|
CPP parts only. Project files have been tested under VicualStudio
|
|
6.0. Build project all - this will build all other projects. CPP
|
|
code is not compiled and adopted right now.
|
|
|
|
This release excludes the option to compile an "http.sys" version of
|
|
an XML-RPC server. If you do wish to build in the http.sys server, set
|
|
the MUST_BUILD_HTTP_SYS_SERVER to 1 in the transport_config_win32.h
|
|
and/or the transport_config.h file. Successful conpilation requires
|
|
installation of the Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows XP SP2 (or
|
|
later) to get the latest header and link libraries required to support
|
|
this functionality. After installation, be sure to properly register
|
|
the directories as documented in the Platform SDK help file topic
|
|
"Installing the Platform SDK with Visual Studio". Download the
|
|
Platform SDK from:
|
|
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/
|
|
|
|
To create the three headers required for Win32 WinInet compilation,
|
|
run the ConfigureWin32.bat found in the Windows directory. If you
|
|
wish to alter the transports that are built to include curl or libwww,
|
|
adjust the preprocessor definitions at the top of the
|
|
transport_config_win32.h and/or the transport_config.h files. See the
|
|
file UsingCURLinWin32.txt for more information on using the curl
|
|
transport.
|
|
|
|
To compile, open the xmlrpc.dsw file in Visual Studio 6 or greater.
|
|
The project will convert and work fine in Visual Studio 2003 as well -
|
|
other versions of Visual Studio were not tested.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If you get an error while opening or converting the project
|
|
files, it is likely due to using WinRar or similar to decompress the
|
|
distribution tarball. You can use WinZip or another utility to
|
|
correctly decompress the .tgz file.
|
|
|
|
Suggested testing for evaluation of the library involves a few
|
|
projects. Here is a quick getting started guide:
|
|
|
|
1) Set the Active Project to query_meerkat and build it in release or
|
|
debug modes. The dependent projects will be built automatically.
|
|
In the project settings dialog, add the argument for what you wish
|
|
to query meerkat for - "Windows" is a good query. Run the project.
|
|
This will query the meerkat server for articles related to windows
|
|
and output the results to the console.
|
|
|
|
2) Set the Active Project to xmlrpc_sample_add_server and build it in
|
|
release or debug modes. The dependent projects will be built
|
|
automatically. In the project settings dialog, add the argument
|
|
for the port to 8080. This will run the server sample which adds
|
|
two numbers and returns a result. You should run this from a
|
|
command prompt instead of through Visual Studio so you may run the
|
|
sample client as well.
|
|
|
|
3) Set the Active Project to xmlrpc_sample_add_sync_client or
|
|
xmlrpc_sample_add_async_client and build it in release or debug
|
|
modes. The dependent projects will be built automatically. This
|
|
will run the client sample which submits two numbers to be added to
|
|
the server application as described above and displays the result.
|
|
Note that the client example comes in the sync and async varieties.

WIN32 CHANGES
|
|
|
|
Changes from the 1.02 release for Win32:
|
|
|
|
1) Option to easily disable the http.sys server for those who do not
|
|
need it or wish to download the Platform SDK.
|
|
|
|
Changes from the 1.01 -> 1.02 release for Win32:
|
|
|
|
1) Project files for gennmtab, xmlparse, and xmltok updated to include the
|
|
path to the xmlrpc_config.h file.
|
|
|
|
2) Bugfix for WinInet authentication.
|
|
|
|
3) Supports xmlrpc_xportparms, xmlrpc_wininet_xportparms added
|
|
*potential breaking change* - now by default we fail on invalid
|
|
SSL certs, use the xmlrpc_wininet_xportparms option to enable old
|
|
behavior.
|
|
|
|
4) Added project file for xmlrpc_sample_auth_client
|
|
|
|
5) Added project and src for a http.sys based xmlrpc-c server. See comments
|
|
in the source files. This supports Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server
|
|
2003 and allows other http.sys based applications to bind to the same
|
|
port. In Server 2003, IIS uses http.sys and thus the XML-RPC server
|
|
can be run on the standard port 80 along with IIS. The sample also
|
|
supports https and basic authentication. It tested OK with
|
|
http://validator.xmlrpc.com/ Note that the Platform SDK headers and
|
|
link libraries for Windows XP SP2 or newer are required to compile
|
|
xmlrpc-c for this module. If you are not using this server, it is
|
|
safe to exclude the xmlrpc_server_w32httpsys.c file from the xmlrpc
|
|
project and these dependencies will not be required. You can get the
|
|
latest platform SDK at
|
|
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/
|
|
Be sure after installation to choose the program to "register the PSDK
|
|
directories with Visual Studio" so the newer headers are found.
|
|
|
|
6) Better support for libcurl. Updated project files,
|
|
transport_config_win32.h, added documentation UsingCURLinWin32.txt.
|
|
|
|
Changes from the 1.00 -> 1.01 release for Win32:
|
|
|
|
1) Project files now reflect static linking for the expat XML library.
|
|
|
|
2) Example projects were created/updated to keep them in sync with the
|
|
distribution. The project files were moved into the Windows
|
|
directory
|
|
|
|
3) Projects for the rpc and cpp tests were created. The
|
|
xmlrpc_win32_config.h defines the directory for the test files relative
|
|
to the output directory
|
|
|
|
4) Major refactoring of the Wininet Transport.
