Simple XML-RPC server over SSL/TLS
Hi there, I'm working on a project where I'm using Python's simple XML-RPC server [1] on Python 3.x. I need to use it over TLS, which is not possible directly, but it's pretty simple to implement extending few classes of the standard library. But what I would like to know, is if is there any reason why XML-RPC can't optionally work over TLS/SSL using Python's ssl module. I'll create a ticket, and send a patch, but I was wondering if it was a reason why this was not implemented. Cheers, Marc 1. http://docs.python.org/dev/library/xmlrpc.server.html

I think there’s no deeper reason than nobody thought about it. The ssl module is new in 2.6 and 3.x, xmlrpc is an older module for an old technology *cough*, so feel free to open a bug report. Patch guidelines are found at http://docs.python.org/devguide Thanks in advance! Cheers

What he said. I'm not a big fan of XMLRPC in the first place, so I probably didn't even notice that there wasn't SSL support for it. Go for it! Bill

I know it's been some time but I've only now spotted the thread and just in case it could be helpful to anyone, Spring Python project has implemented the feature last year for Python 2.x http://static.springsource.org/spring-python/1.2.x/sphinx/html/remoting.html... cheers, -- Dariusz Suchojad
