Comment #5 on issue 1489 by pekka.klarck: Document that remote library
interface supports only standard XML-RPC and no extensions
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1489
Based on that bug report and Apache XML-RPC docs referenced there
<http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/types.html>, it seems that the remote server
uses a custom XML-RPC extension. I don't think we need to support such
extensions because:
1) Everything Robot's remote interface needs can be done with standard
XML-RPC.
2) Python's xmlrpclib doesn't support these extensions so we needed to
extend it ourselves. That is non-trivial.
The easiest solution to this problem is turning the custom extension off.
On Robot side we should, however, document that the remote interface only
supports standard XML-RPC. I'm reopening this as a documentation issue.
Patches are obviously accepted if someone is interested in adding support
for the offending extension.
