I have setup an endpoint called api.
It uses an xmlrpc server.
I have enabled system.connect in the resources tab.
I send this request:
POST http://mydomain.local/api HTTP/1.1

Is it 6.x or 7.x ?
Do you have problems with Drupal 6 or Drupal 7 ?
In 7.x version it should work, but I am not sure about 6.x as there is prefixing for xmlrpc. So please try system.xmlrpc_connect. But I think we will remove prefixing like it was done in 7.x version of Services.
It is 6.x
Sorry I didn't mention that it was 6.x!
I abandoned it for now and went back to version 2.44.
I noticed that in the resources UI - the connect method was buried in a box labeled actions.
I tried system.actions.connect (desperate!) which didn't work - but it did make me think it was a scope issue that I didn't understand.
I did succeed in calling other methods - so it was working in principle - I just couldn't get system.connect to work - which was the core of the matter unfortunately.
i gave up on 3.x in d6 too. i
i gave up on 3.x in d6 too. i noticed in the cache it's not giving me the right method name. been trying to make it work in 3.x for hours while in 2.x i got it enabled for a few minutes.
XMLRPC is very difficult and
XMLRPC is very difficult and might be broken for awhile in 6.x, Why not use something much simpler like REST?
I use mimic library
I use mimic library (http://mimic-xmlrpc.sourceforge.net/) for testing XMLRPC in services. Works pretty fine and easy for me. So what you need to do with it:
<script src="mimic.js"></script>
var request = new XmlRpcRequest("/{your site folder}/api", 'services_test.test'); request.addParam('1'); var response = request.send(); alert(response.parseXML());I assumed that http://localhost/{your site folder}/api is your XMLRPC endpoint.
Also xmlrpc function could be
Also xmlrpc function could be run for testing in devel/php, see example:
$result = xmlrpc($url, array('services_test.test' => array('1'),
));
dpm($result);
Here is a code snippet that
Here is a code snippet that logs in and creates test node:
$result = xmlrpc($url, array('user.login' => array($login, $password),
));
$options['headers']['Cookie'] = $result['session_name']. '=' . $result['sessid'];
$data=array('type'=>'page', 'title'=>'Test', 'body'=>'test');
$result = xmlrpc($url, array(
'node.create' => array($data),
), $options);
Well, here is a code that
Well, here is a code that logs in, posts request to the test service and logs out.
<?php
$url = 'http://localhost/drupal/drupal7/api';
$login = 'admin';
$password = 'admin';
// Login to the remote website via XML RPC
$result = xmlrpc($url, array(
'user.login' => array($login, $password),
));
// Save session
$options['headers']['Cookie'] = $result['session_name']. '=' . $result['sessid'];
// Get new sid
$result = xmlrpc($url, array(
'services_test.test' => array(1),
), $options);
dpm($result);
// Log out
$result = xmlrpc($url, array(
'user.logout' => array(),
), $options);
?>
thanks !
It looks great. Thanks dealancer.
