* If you have something using XmlRpc that isn't in core, change your method signature from:
(XmlRpcRequest request)
to:
(XmlRpcRequest request, IPEndPoint remoteClient)
This may break a lot of things, but it needs to go in. It was tested in standalone and the UCI grid, but it needs a lot more testing.
Known problems:
* HG asset transfers are borked for now
* missing texture is missing
* 3 unit tests commented out for now
Different people using Hippo 0.5.1 report that trying
to send group instant messages crashes the viewer
(Hippo 0.5.1). This is the case even for empty groups
or if all group members are online.
The attached patch provides the necessary infrastructure to support
security and authentication features of the xmlrpc server.
* Read/Write keys for accessing a Group's xmlrpc service.
* Requiring user session verification for write operations.
The attached patch fixes a few problems that people were
having with the Messaging provided by the XmlRpcGroups
optional module, namely:
* Fixes 2x echo in group messaging
* Fixes problems with cross instance, non-neighbor, messaging
Some other IRC timing wrinkles showed up:
[1] If connect processing blocked in socket activation, then
the watch dog saw the session as connected, and eventually
tried to ping, but because the socket create was still
blocked, it barfed on a null reference. This then drove
reconnect. Changed the watchdog handler so that it only
tries to ping connections that are connected and not pending.
[2] If the socket creation actually fails, then the connect and
pending flags were reset. This resulted in the connection
being retried at the earliest possible opportunity. The
longer login-timeout is preferrable, so the status flags
are not reset, and the failed login is eventually timed
out.
[3] The Inter-connection interval is primed so that the first
session can connect without delay.
* The change shouldn't affect anyone who has it working currently and makes it a ton easier for everyone else to get it working.
* Handle a case when there's no Event-Calling-Function but it's obviously a REGISTER method
* Refactors the xmlrpc calls to a single location to
make it easier to debug and include alternative
xmlrpc call mechanisms
* Includes an alternative xmlrpc call mechanism that
sets HTTP Keep-Alive to false which solves nearly all
System.Net exceptions on some windows environments
