I should have thought about this. Thank you both very much! What would be great is to have some additional documentation and examples on the xml interface. I have a patch pending: http://issues.roundup-tracker.org/issue2550749 that slightly changes xml handling. Currently if the input mime type is text/xml, it invokes the xmlrpc handler. However REST and other mechanisms can also use xml style data (although json is probably more likely). My patch invokes the xmlrpc hander only when addressed as: <roundup_url>/xmlrpc Would you be able to apply the patch attached to the issue and verify that things still work as expected? I tested it with the examples I could find but didn't really try it in a real world scenario. For the other roundup developers do we have a feeling for how disruptive this patch would be? Any idea how many people are using the xlmrpc mechanism? Other than more extensive testing, what should happen before this patch is integrated into a release? -- -- rouilj John Rouillard =========================================================================== My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
