Minimal client test script for XMLRPC call

The folder scripts contains a simple client which can be used to test the server.

$ php testxmlrpc.php --help

usage : testxmlrpc.php [ options] 

    help     : display this screen
    host     : server name or IP, default : localhost
    url      : XML-RPC plugin URL, default : /glpisvn/plugins/webservices/xmlrpc.php
    username : User name for security check (optionnal)
    password : User password (optionnal)
        session  : identifier returned by [[glpi.doLogin]]
    method   : XML-RPC method to call, default : glpi.test
    deflate  : allow server to compress response (if supported)

Other options are used for XML-RPC call.

Since 1.6.1, value of host, and url options are saved, so are preserved between calls. After a call to glpi.doLogin the returned session identifier is also saved, so the --session option is usually not needed.

Standard error codes

  • 1 : Access Denied (server configuration)
  • 2 : Unknown method

The glpi.*list*xxx method return an array of hastable if succeed or an empty array.

When this is indicated, such method accept, as option

  • count : only count item, return will a be a simple hashtable with a single entry 'count'
  • start : result will start after # item (probably return in a previous call)
  • limit : result will not contains more than # item
