Let's hope this is my last question on the matter. I'm implementing a SimpleXMLRPCServer, and last week I had a problem John helped me solve. The thing is that my server is to be called from a remote machine, so when declaring the instance, the line ("localhost", 8000) wouldn't work because it would only listen on
127.0.0.1.
Next thing I tried was the line ('', 8000) (two simple quotes). That way it worked just fine, because now the server listens on all interfaces.
My question now is: is this the way SimpleXMLRPCServers are implemented? All the examples I've found use the simple quotes, without providing any other aditional examples. I want to know if there are any security risks that raise from the fact that it listens on all interfaces. I haven't been able to find any information on this. If you need more info regarding my question, please ask.
Thank you very much in advance.
Jose Carlos.
