[tryton-dev] XML-RPC and url syntax when there is not database name in the path (trailing slash)

[fabien . castarede]

Hi,

Behavior of the request handler is not the same 
for 'http://localhost:8069/' or 'http://localhost:8069'.

When there is not a trailing slash, xmlrpclib adds automatically the part 
"/RPC2" to the url. So, a ProtocolError is raised :

xmlrpclib.ProtocolError: <ProtocolError for localhost:8069/RPC2: 401 
Unauthorized>

I read somewhere (http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/doc/xmlrpc.html) : 

RPC2 is the conventional file name for an XML-RPC responder.


Is it better to have a such behavior, or could be interesting to handle 
that (in adding a trailing slash if there isn't) to avoid this error ?

Thanks,

Fab.
