Normally you would write XMLRPC against Zinc HTTP Components and XML Support,
both are working fine on 1.3 and 1.4. Pharo 1.3 is released and in that sense
more stable (as in predictable and not changing as much), but 1.4 has much more
of the latest features/fixes and is generally more fun (but you'll be living on
the edge).
Here is an XMLRPC call without the infrastructure of generating/parsing the
proper XML:
| call |
call := '<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>examples.getStateName</methodName>
<params>
<param>
<value><i4>41</i4></value>
</param>
</params>
</methodCall>'.
ZnClient new
url: 'http://www.cookcomputing.com/xmlrpcsamples/RPC2.ashx';
entity: (ZnEntity with: call type: ZnMimeType applicationXml);
post.
