This is great! I will look at adding these changes to phpgroupware. We have our own hacked-in use of curl also, but this one looks more complete. FYI, we are now able to accept user or server logins using XML-RPC. If there was an acceptable client available it should be able to use the addressbook and calendar apps so far. In our devel cvs is a module called xmlrpc. This has a test app called interserv.php which can be used to test client-server or server-server login, etc. Interop tests are disabled by default, but should be addable by uncommenting an include in the server app, /xmlrpc.php. I have tested the server using the test app and also with a modified version of the perl Frontier module. This was hacked to add in the Authorization header. In this header, we pass the base64 encoding of a 32 char sessionid and 32 char key. These are the same as used for browser-based login. Our system.login method will assign these when the call is made with user/pass parameters. I would really like to hear about other standardized methods for authentication. Our implementation is via modified version of XML-RPC for PHP. Most of the modifications have to do with customizing the ability to make calls to business objects. This allows for creation of these objects and execution of class methods. It also fills the server map prior to making the calls, including introspection, per class. I also had to modify the depth to which array input/output is encoded/decoded. We are still making changes daily, but if you would like to help out or participate it would be appreciated.
