Re: XML-RPC + SimpleHTTPServer question

Thank you very much, Fredrik. Your code and suggestion worked perfectly. I haven't benchmarked the plain HTTP post vs Binary wrapper, but strangely even using the naive Binary wrapper in Python sends files much faster than how Java + Axis wraps byte arrays in SOAP messages. Jeremy -- http://ma

OK, I posted my previous message before I saw your reply on how to handle the server side. On the client side, should I use httplib.HTTPConnection.request() to upload the data or can I do this through xmlrpc.ServerProxy objects? Jeremy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

XML-RPC + SimpleHTTPServer question

2006-07-05 Thread jbrewer
I'm currently implementing an XML-RPC service in Python where binary data is sent to the server via URLs. However, some clients that need to access the server may not have access to a web server, and I need to find a solution. I came up with the idea of embedding a simple HTTP server in the XML-R

I tried following your simple example (I already had something similar) but with no luck. I'm completely stumped as to why this doesn't work. I even tried manually scaling the data to be in the range 0-255 out of desperation. The data is definitely contiguous and 32 bit floating point. At this p
