Thanks for your answer.
I'll look at web2py. However web2py seems to address the xmlrpc server (at least in your example). The xmlrpc server application exists alerady and requires a client certificate. The client example doesn't seem to be using a certificate. So I'll be reading a little into web2py. bye N mdipierro wrote: > xmlrpc acts at the application layer and ssl at the transport layer so > they can inter operate easily as long as you do not use the > certificate to authenticate the client but only validate the server > and encrypt data (which you can also do but it is more complicated) > > One option for you is to use web2py which include an xmlrpc server > that uses a wsgi ssl enabled web server. > > Here is how: > > 1) Install web2py > 2) Visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin and create a new application from > the web based IDE > 3) create your web service for example, in a controller default.py > > @service.xmlrpc > def add(a,b): return int(a)+int(b) > > 4) Restart web2py with > > python web2py.py -a ADMIN_PASSWD -c SSL_CERTIFICATE -k > SSL_PRIVATE_KEY -i 0.0.0.0 -p 443 > > 5) You can now access the service from any Python program: > > >>> import xmlrpclib > >>> server_url = 'https://myserver:443/yourapp/default/call/ > xmlrpc' > >>> server = xmlrpclib.Server(server_url) > >>> print server.add(3,4) > 7 > > Hope this helps. > > > > On Jan 3, 8:12 pm, News123 <news...@free.fr> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I was googling fot quite some time and was not really succesfull. >> >> I found one solution, which I will try soon. >> It ishttp://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~danken/xmlrpc-ssl.html >> (found inhttp://hamakor.org.il/pipermail/python-il/2008-February/000029.html) >> >> This will probably work, but it requires the module M2Crypto. >> >> In order to avoid installing M2Crypto an all hosts that want to run the >> script I wondered, whether there is no other solution. >> >> I can do xmlrpc over ssl WITHOUT certificates with following code: >> >> import xmlrpclib >> server_url = 'https://myserver' >> server = xmlrpclib.Server(server_url); >> >> and I can perform a https get request WITH certificates with below snippet: >> >> import httplib >> conn = httplib.HTTPSConnection( >> HOSTNAME, >> key_file = KEYFILE, >> cert_file = CERTFILE >> ) >> conn.putrequest('GET', '/') >> conn.endheaders() >> response = conn.getresponse() >> print response.read() >> >> I'm just lost of how to 'combine' both. >> >> Thanks in advance for any suggestions / hints >> >> N > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
