NAME

       xml-rpc-api2cpp - Make a C++ wrapper class for an XML-RPC API

SYNOPSIS

       xml-rpc-api2cpp server-url remote-method-prefix c++-class-name

DESCRIPTION

       xml-rpc-api2cpp  queries  an XML-RPC server using the XML-RPC Instrospection API designed by Edd Dumbill.
       It then prints a C++ wrapper class to standard output.  This class can be used with xmlrpc-c's C++ API.

       You can find a list of supported XML-RPC server libraries (and patches for many others) at http://xmlrpc-
       c.sourceforge.net/hacks.php.

OPTIONS

       server-url
              The name of the server to query.  Try http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/interop.cgi.

       remote-method-prefix
              The prefix of the methods to wrap.  For example, to wrap all the system.* calls, you could specify
              "system".

       c++-class-name
              The name of the C++ class to generate.  Try "SystemProxy".

BUGS

       xml-rpc-api2cpp can't talk to certain PHP servers  based  on  Edd  Dumbill's  PHP  library,  because  the
       trailing bytes of the XML-RPC message get truncated in HTTP pipelining mode.  It's not clear whether this
       is a PHP, Apache or w3c-libwww bug.

       xml-rpc-api2cpp assumes that method descriptions are ASCII text, not HTML as specified in  the  standard.
       (In  practice,  both conventions are often seen.)  It may also get unhappy if method descriptions contain
       "*/".

       In general, error messages and diagnostics are still fairly poor.
