That is what we added, did you restart apache?
These are the steps we use to recreate the problem:
Step 1 : Configure and expose a test xmlrpc service in web2py:
a) Create a simple web2py application "testapp"
b) Edit db.py and add the following where "auth.settings" are
configured
auth.settings.allow_basic_login = True
c) Edit default.py and add @auth.requires_login() to call()
@auth.requires_login()
def call()
d) In default.py, add a function to be exposed as an xmlrpc service.
@service.xmlrpc
def multiply(a=1,b=1):
product = int(a) * int(b)
return dict(answer=product)
e) Create a user in the "testapp" web application, e.g.
"[email protected]", password = "oranges". This user will be used to
authenticate against the test service.
Step 2 : Invoke XMLRPC service from Python
Assume server is available on localhost:8000. The path to the XMLRPC
wrapper is "testapp/default/call/xmlrpc".
Open a python shell
>>> from xmlrpclib import ServerProxy
Create a server using format http://user:pass@host:port/path
>>> server =
>>> ServerProxy('http://[email protected]:oranges@localhost:8000/testapp/default/call/xmlrpc')
Make sure to use "https" or "http" as appropriate. To enable logging
of request/response data, create with the named parameter
"verbose=True", e.g.
>>> server =
>>> ServerProxy('http://[email protected]:oranges@localhost:8000/testapp/default/call/xmlrpc',
>>> verbose=True)
Invoke the multiply() method
>>> server.multiply(2, 2)
You should see a dictionary containing the answer or, if it's
incorrectly configured, a 303 SEE OTHER error.
Cheers,
Robin
