xmlrpc.client --- XML-RPC 用戶端存取

---

XML-RPC is a Remote Procedure Call method that uses XML passed via HTTP(S) as a transport. With it, a client can call methods with parameters on a remote server (the server is named by a URI) and get back structured data. This module supports writing XML-RPC client code; it handles all the details of translating between conformable Python objects and XML on the wire.

警告

The xmlrpc.client module is not secure against maliciously constructed data. If you need to parse untrusted or unauthenticated data, see XML 安全性.

在 3.5 版的變更: For HTTPS URIs, xmlrpc.client now performs all the necessary certificate and hostname checks by default.

可用性: not WASI.

class xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy(uri, transport=None, encoding=None, verbose=False, allow_none=False, use_datetime=False, use_builtin_types=False, *, headers=(), context=None)

A ServerProxy instance is an object that manages communication with a remote XML-RPC server. The required first argument is a URI (Uniform Resource Indicator), and will normally be the URL of the server. The optional second argument is a transport factory instance; by default it is an internal SafeTransport instance for https: URLs and an internal HTTP Transport instance otherwise. The optional third argument is an encoding, by default UTF-8. The optional fourth argument is a debugging flag.

The following parameters govern the use of the returned proxy instance. If allow_none is true, the Python constant None will be translated into XML; the default behaviour is for None to raise a TypeError. This is a commonly used extension to the XML-RPC specification, but isn't supported by all clients and servers; see http://ontosys.com/xml-rpc/extensions.php for a description. The use_builtin_types flag can be used to cause date/time values to be presented as datetime.datetime objects and binary data to be presented as bytes objects; this flag is false by default. datetime.datetime, bytes and bytearray objects may be passed to calls. The headers parameter is an optional sequence of HTTP headers to send with each request, expressed as a sequence of 2-tuples representing the header name and value. (e.g. [('Header-Name', 'value')]). If an HTTPS URL is provided, context may be ssl.SSLContext and configures the SSL settings of the underlying HTTPS connection. The obsolete use_datetime flag is similar to use_builtin_types but it applies only to date/time values.

在 3.3 版的變更: 新增 use_builtin_types 旗標。

在 3.8 版的變更: 新增 headers 參數。

Both the HTTP and HTTPS transports support the URL syntax extension for HTTP Basic Authentication: http://user:pass@host:port/path. The user:pass portion will be base64-encoded as an HTTP 'Authorization' header, and sent to the remote server as part of the connection process when invoking an XML-RPC method. You only need to use this if the remote server requires a Basic Authentication user and password.

The returned instance is a proxy object with methods that can be used to invoke corresponding RPC calls on the remote server. If the remote server supports the introspection API, the proxy can also be used to query the remote server for the methods it supports (service discovery) and fetch other server-associated metadata.

Types that are conformable (e.g. that can be marshalled through XML), include the following (and except where noted, they are unmarshalled as the same Python type):

XML-RPC type	Python type
boolean	bool
int、i1、i2、i4、i8 或 biginteger	int in range from -2147483648 to 2147483647. Values get the <int> tag.
double 或 float	float. Values get the <double> tag.
string	str
