I got the exact same URL and IP. To be sure, i let python run the
comparison instead of only relying on my eyes.
>>> 'https://wiki.example.net/lib/exe/xmlrpc.php?u=user&p=password' ==
'https://wiki.example.net/lib/exe/xmlrpc.php?u=user&p=password'
True
>>> 'xx.xxx.xxx.197' == 'xx.xxx.xxx.197'
True
Those URLs were printed out from each script, just before attempting the call?
Yes. The program is that one :
import socket
import xmlrpc.client as xmlrpclib
from xml.parsers.expat import ExpatError
from urllib.parse import urlencode
URL = 'https://wiki.example.net'
USER_AGENT = 'DokuWikiXMLRPC 1.0 for testing'
script = '/lib/exe/xmlrpc.php'
url = URL + script + '?' + urlencode({'u': USER, 'p': PASSWD})
print(url)
print(socket.gethostbyname('wiki.example.net'))
# xmlrpclib.Transport.user_agent = USER_AGENT
# xmlrpclib.SafeTransport.user_agent = USER_AGENT
proxy = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(url)
v = proxy.dokuwiki.getVersion()
print(v)
You gave me an idea: i checked the nginx log of the server hosting the
dokuwiki instance, and got something of interest :
[SERVER IP] - - [24/Feb/2021:19:08:31 +0100] "POST
/lib/exe/xmlrpc.php?u=[USER]&p=[PASSWORD] HTTP/1.1" 200 209 "-"
"Python-xmlrpc/3.7"
[LAPTOP IP] - - [24/Feb/2021:19:08:35 +0100] "POST /lib/exe/xmlrpc.php
HTTP/1.1" 401 433 "-" "Python-xmlrpc/3.9"
It seems that the laptop is not sending the arguments, despite them
being fed in the python code ?
Fascinating! Well, that does at least simplify things somewhat -
instead of "why is this coming back 401", it's "why is this not
sending credentials".
Yes, we are going forward :)
More data is always good.

I tested from the windows computer (Python 3.8, it appears, not 3.7 as i
thought), and got the following nginx log:
[LAPTOP IP] - - [24/Feb/2021:20:06:42 +0100] "POST
/lib/exe/xmlrpc.php?u=[user]&p=[password] HTTP/1.1" 200 209 "-"
"DokuWikiXMLRPC 1.0 for testing windows"
That other laptop also had an ubuntu installed, with python 3.6.9, so i
ran the program and got the expected output, and the following nginx log:
[LAPTOP IP] - - [24/Feb/2021:20:04:04 +0100] "POST
/lib/exe/xmlrpc.php?u=[user]&p=[password] HTTP/1.1" 200 209 "-"
"DokuWikiXMLRPC 1.0 for testing ubuntu"
Both accessed correctly the dokuwiki version. Unless this is a platform
specific problem, it seems to narrow it to 3.9.
