Hallo!
Thanks I looked at that but it wasn't clear to me how I could connect to an external server such as http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/api.sample.php with this. Do I need to run a python script along with the patch? Is there a help file some where?
Well, there is an help pach: look in /externals/iem/iemxmlrpc (I think not a help patch, but an example patch). And you should be able to use that with any other language than python ...

Thanks Georg . I saw this patch but it doesn't really have any explanation associated with it that I can see. Also one would have to run another script in Python or something to make the xml-rpc calls if I understand it correctly. Is that correct? I was wondering if there was an external with the xml-rpc library included to avoid having to use anything along with PD. In the ideal case one would use only PD as the client and be able to contact a remote xml-rpc server directly. I guess this isn't currently available or perhaps I just don't understand iemxmlrpc? Thanks, Jim

No, this is just an example in python...

Yes, I think thats the idea - however, you have to replace the calls from the python example with the equivalent calls from your desired language - I'm sorry, I only used it in python so far, so I can't give an example ...
So maybe the best is to simply try to reprogram this python example in your language (if you have problems just post them) - then this could be also added as an example ...

Thanks again Georg, do you have a sense as to what it would take to re-write the external with the calls embedded in the external? Is this possible? It would be nice if one didn't have to use an accompanying script in Python , Perl etc to make those calls. Jim

Once again: you don't have to rewrite the external and you don't have to use python! Just this example used python - you can of course make this xmlrpc calls also in perl or whatever !
