Phpxmlrpc Versions Save

• improved: remove warnings with php 8.1 due to usage of strftime

• improved: cast correctly php objects sporting DateTimeInterface to phpxmlrpc datetime values

• improved: added method Client::prepareCurlHandle, to make it easier to send multiple requests in parallel when using curl and the server does not support system.multicall. See new demo file parallel.php for how this can be done.

• fixed: error 'Class "PhpXmlRpc\Exception\PhpXmlrpcException" not found' when including xmlrpc.inc and on php 8.1 (might also happen on other php versions)

• fixed: the benchmark.php file had seen some tests accidentally dropped

• modified the strings used to tell the client to use http/2: to avoid users mistaking 'http2' for the preferred value, we switched to using h2 and h2c

• improved: the benchmark.php file does now also test calls using https and http/2 protocols

http/2 on non-https requests (known as h2c) works in either "prior-knowledge" mode or "upgrade" mode. Given the fact that upgrade mode is not compatible with POST requests, we switched to using "prior-knowledge" mode for requests sent with the http2 argument passed to the client's constructor or send method. NB: this means that requests sent with http2 are only compatible with servers and proxies known to be http/2 compliant.

Please don't use this version, go straight to 4.7.2 or later.

HTTP/2 is supported by both the Client and Server components (with the php cURL extension being required to use it client-side). To force the client to use http/2 and http/2-tls requests, pass http2 or http2tls as 3rd argument to Client::send.

Please don't use this version, go straight to 4.7.2 or later.

fixed: one php warning with php 8 and up

• fixed: compatibility with php 8.1

• improved: when encoding utf8 text into us-ascii xml, use character entity references for characters number 0-31 (ascii non printable characters), as we were already doing when encoding iso-8859-1 text into us-ascii xml

• new: method Server::getDispatchMap(). Useful for non-child classes which want to f.e. introspect the server

• new: increase flexibility in class composition by adopting a Dependency Injection (...ish) pattern: it is now possible to swap out the Logger, XMLParser and Charset classes with similar ones of your own making. Example code:

  // 1. create an instance of a custom character encoder
  // $myCharsetEncoder = ...
  // 2. then use it while serializing a Request:
  Request::setCharsetEncoder($myCharsetEncoder);
  $request->serialize($funkyCharset);
  

• new: method XMLParser::parse() acquired a 4th argument

• new: method Wrapper::wrapPhpClass allows to customize the names of the phpxmlrpc methods by stripping the original class name and accompanying namespace and replace it with a user-defined prefix, via option replace_class_name

• new: Response constructor gained a 4th argument

• deprecated: properties Response::hdrs, Response::_cookies, Response::raw_data. Use Response::httpResponse() instead. That method returns an array which also holds the http response's status code - useful in case of http errors.

• deprecated: method Request::createPayload. Use Request::serialize instead

• deprecated: property Request::httpResponse

• improved: Http::parseResponseHeaders now throws a more specific exception in case of http errors

• improved: Continuous Integration is now running on Github Actions instead of Travis

• improved: better phpdocs in the the php code generated by the Wrapper class

• improved: debugger favicon and page title when used from the phpjsonrpc library

• fixed: allow Encoder::decode to properly support different target character sets for polyfill-xmlrpc decode functions

• improved: allow usage of 'epivals' for the 'parameters_type' member of methods definitions in the Server dispatch map

• improved: made it easier to subclass the Helper\Charset class by allowing instance to use late static binding

• fixed: reinstated access to xmlrpc_server->dmap (for users of the v3 API)

• fixed: method xmlrpc_encode_entitites (for users of the v3 API)

• improved: split the code of the demo server in multiple files, describing better the purpose of each

• new: it is now possible to control the precision used when serializing DOUBLE values via usage of PhpXmlRpc::$xmlpc_double_precision

• fixed: Encoder::encode would not correctly encode DateTime and DateTimeImmutable objects

• improvements to to the Helper\Date class in rejecting invalid date strings

• improvements to the Wrapper class in identifying the required arguments types from phpdoc: support 'array[]', 'DateTime' and 'DateTimeImmutable'

• improvements to the support of the XMLRPC extension emulation (as provided by the phpxmlrpc/polyfill-xmlrpc package)

• improvements in the inline phpdoc: tagged many methods and class member as for internal usage only

• minor improvements in the debugger to allow easier integration of phpxmlrpc/jsonrpc and friends

• reorganized the test suite to be more manageable

• removed obsolete files from the 'extras' folder; updated and moved to the 'demo' folders the perl and python client scripts; moved benchmark.php and verify_compat.php to the 'extras' folder
