SYNOPSIS

10       Client
11             use XMLRPC::Lite
12               proxy => 'http://localhost/',
13             # proxy => 'http://localhost/cgi-bin/xmlrpc.cgi', # local CGI server
14             # proxy => 'http://localhost/',                   # local daemon server
15             # proxy => 'http://login:password@localhost/cgi-bin/xmlrpc.cgi', # local CGI server with authentication
16             ;

20       CGI server

22
23             my $server = XMLRPC::Transport::HTTP::CGI

DESCRIPTION

39       This class encapsulates all HTTP related logic for a XMLRPC server,
40       independent of what web server it's attached to.  If you want to use
41       this class you should follow simple guideline mentioned above.
42
43   PROXY SETTINGS
44       You can use any proxy setting you use with LWP::UserAgent modules:
45
46        XMLRPC::Lite->proxy('http://endpoint.server/',
47                            proxy => ['http' => 'http://my.proxy.server']);
48
49       or
50
51        $xmlrpc->transport->proxy('http' => 'http://my.proxy.server');
52
53       should specify proxy server for you. And if you use "HTTP_proxy_user"
54       and "HTTP_proxy_pass" for proxy authorization SOAP::Lite should know
55       how to handle it properly.
56
57   COOKIE-BASED AUTHENTICATION
58         use HTTP::Cookies;
59
60         my $cookies = HTTP::Cookies->new(ignore_discard => 1);
61           # you may also add 'file' if you want to keep them between sessions
62
63         my $xmlrpc = XMLRPC::Lite->proxy('http://localhost/');
64         $xmlrpc->transport->cookie_jar($cookies);
65
66       Cookies will be taken from response and provided for request. You may
67       always add another cookie (or extract what you need after response)
68       with HTTP::Cookies interface.
69
70       You may also do it in one line:
71
72         $xmlrpc->proxy('http://localhost/',
73                        cookie_jar => HTTP::Cookies->new(ignore_discard => 1));
74
75   COMPRESSION
76       XMLRPC::Lite provides you option for enabling compression on wire (for
77       HTTP transport only). Both server and client should support this
78       capability, but this logic should be absolutely transparent for your
79       application.  Server will respond with encoded message only if client
80       can accept it (client sends Accept-Encoding with 'deflate' or '*'
81       values) and client has fallback logic, so if server doesn't understand
82       specified encoding (Content-Encoding: deflate) and returns proper error
83       code (415 NOT ACCEPTABLE) client will repeat the same request not
84       encoded and will store this server in per-session cache, so all other
85       requests will go there without encoding.
86
87       Having options on client and server side that let you specify threshold
88       for compression you can safely enable this feature on both client and
89       server side.
90
91       Compression will be enabled on client side IF: threshold is specified
92       AND size of current message is bigger than threshold AND module
93       Compress::Zlib is available. Client will send header 'Accept-Encoding'
94       with value 'deflate' if threshold is specified AND module
95       Compress::Zlib is available.
96
97       Server will accept compressed message if module Compress::Zlib is
98       available, and will respond with compressed message ONLY IF: threshold
99       is specified AND size of current message is bigger than threshold AND
100       module Compress::Zlib is available AND header 'Accept-Encoding' is
101       presented in request.
