[issue8792] xmlrpclib compatibility issues with Apache XML-RPC library
Martin v. Löwis mar...@v.loewis.de added the comment: Can somebody please point to a current version of the Apache documentation? The link in msg106322 does not work anymore. I'm tempted to close this as invalid: Apache is clearly violating the XML-RPC specification, so the bug is theirs. As a work-around, adding this to dispatch in your own application seems like a good solution to me. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8792 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Bhargav bhar...@bluejeansnet.com added the comment: I am seeing the same exception when the server returns ex:nil, even when I enable allow_none. The library only accepts 'nil' not 'ex:nil' As a workaround, I have added dispatch[ex:nil] to my local library (which is obviously not a solution) -- nosy: +bhargav ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8792 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue8792] xmlrpclib compatibility issues with Apache XML-RPC library
New submission from Attila Nagy b...@fsn.hu:
When talking to an Apache XML-RPC library based application via python 2.6.5
xmlrpclib, I get this exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File prb.py, line 4, in module
proxy.catv.getEndpointIdByIp('1.1.1.1')
File /tmp/Python-2.6.5/Lib/xmlrpclib.py, line 1199, in __call__
return self.__send(self.__name, args)

File /tmp/Python-2.6.5/Lib/xmlrpclib.py, line 1253, in request
return self._parse_response(h.getfile(), sock)
File /tmp/Python-2.6.5/Lib/xmlrpclib.py, line 1389, in _parse_response
p.feed(response)
File /tmp/Python-2.6.5/Lib/xmlrpclib.py, line 601, in feed
self._parser.Parse(data, 0)
File /tmp/Python-2.6.5/Lib/xmlrpclib.py, line 868, in end
return f(self, join(self._data, ))
File /tmp/Python-2.6.5/Lib/xmlrpclib.py, line 935, in end_struct
dict[_stringify(items[i])] = items[i+1]
IndexError: list index out of range
The exception is caused by the XML response, which includes a value with
ex:i8 type. According to this: http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/types.html, there
are a lot more types, which are not understood by python's xmlrpclib.
It's easy to fix the above by adding ex:i8 to the list of end_int dispatcher:
def end_int(self, data):
self.append(int(data))
self._value = 0
dispatch[i4] = end_int
dispatch[i8] = end_int
dispatch[ex:i8] = end_int
dispatch[int] = end_int
This makes the error disappear (and the program to work).
Of course, it would be nice to support all other types as well (in both
directions).
