;; @module xmlrpc-client.lsp
;; @description XMLRPC protocol client routines
;; @version 0.3 - comments redone for automatic documentation
;; @version 0.4 - multiple indices with <tt>nth</tt> redone to be compatible with future versions
;; @version 0.5 - doc changes
;; @version 0.6 - fixed bug in error handler
;; @version 0.61 - fixed doc typo
;; @version 0.7 - check for valid list type in (get-value expr) thanks Kosh
;; @version 0.8 - changed references to /usr/ to /usr/local/
;; @version 0.9 - make system.listMethods more flexible for no of args - thanks Ofoe

;; <h2>Functions for XML-RPC client</h2>
;; To use this module include a 'load' statement at the beginning of the program:
;; <pre>
;; (load "/usr/local/share/newlisp/modules/xmlrpc-client.lsp")
;; ; or shorter
;; (module "xmlrpc-client.lsp")
;; </pre>
;; The script 'xmlrpc.cgi' implements a method 'newLISP.evalString'. This module contains
;; a client side function for this method for testing purposes. The file 'xmlrpc.cgi'
;; can be found in the 'example' directory of the newLISP source distribution.
;;
;; For further information on XML-RPC consult
;; @link http://www.xmlrpc.com/ http://www.xmlrpc.com/ .
;;
;; Whenever a connection could be made, method functions will return a response
;; formatted by the XML-RPC server in XML. If a connection failed the function will
;; return 'nil' and a call to '(XMLRPC:error)' will return an error text.
;;
;; If the XML received cannot be parsed into SXML, the function returns 'nil'
;; and '(XMLRPC:error)' will return an XML error. SXML is XML transformed into
;; LISP S-expressions.
;; If the XML received is syntactically correct but not correctly formatted,
;; XML garbage is returned or 'nil' is returned and an error message in
;; '(XMLRPC:error)'.
;; @syntax (XMLRPC:system.listMethods <str-url>)
;; @param <str-url> The URL of the XML-RPC server
;; @return A list of methods supported.
;; The server at <url> returns a list of methods supported.
;; @syntax (XMLRPC:system.methodHelp <str-url> <str-method-name>)
;; @param <str-url> The URL of the XML-RPC server.
;; @param <method-name> The name of the method to get help for.
;; @return Help for <str-method-name>
;; The server at <str-url> returns help for the method in <str-method-name>
;; @syntax (XMLRPC:system.methodSignatures <str-url> <str-method-name>)
;; @param <str-url> The URL of the XML-RPC server.
;; @param <method-name> The name of the method to get the signature for.
;; @return The signature for a server method.
;; Gets the calling parameter conventions (signature) for a method
;; <method-name> at <str-url>.
;; @syntax (XMLRPC:execute <str-url> <str-xml-request>)
;; @param <str-url> The URL of the XML-RPC server.
;; @param <str-xml-request> A XML formatted request.
;; @return XML formatted server response
;; This is a generic method for making XML-RPC requests.
;; The request must be XML formatted correctly by the sender (client).
;; @syntax (XMLRPC:newLISP.evalString <str-url> <str-expression>)
;; @param <str-url> The URL of the XML-RPC server.
;; @param <str-expression> The expresssion to be evaluated in a string.
;; @return The result of the expression evaluation.
;; The expression in <str-expression> is encoded in base64 and then
;; transmitted to the remote server.
;; @syntax (XMLRPC:error)
;; @return Error text of last error occured.
