address@hidden: [Chicken-users] xml-rpc-client response parsing (+patch)]

[Hans Bulfone]

hi,

i've wondered if there's anything i can do for my xml-rpc.egg patch
to be applied to the official version.

the patch fixes the problem mentioned in the email below and
also has support for basic http authentication on the client side.

kind regards,
hans.

hi,

i'm new to this list and also rather new to chicken and scheme in
general.

i've played with the xml-rpc egg recently and wanted to use it against
an xml-rpc server implemented with ruby-on-rails.
i noticed that fault responses from rails cannot be parsed by
xml-rpc-client because the 'faultCode' is returned with type
i4 instead of int (which is expected by xml-rpc-client).
according to the xml-rpc specs, both types are equivalent.

also, the specs say that two structs with the same fields in
different order are the same, so i thought it would be better
to parse the fault struct in a loop.

i have attached a patch that fixes both, i hope you like it :)
it works for me but i've not tested it thoroughly.

thanks for your work on chicken, i really like it!

regards,
hans.
