[phpxmlrpc] zlib / xmlrpc

[bolle at tiscali.co.uk ()]

Hi,

I seem to have confused everyone - including myself with my last
question. I got my versions of XML-RPC mixed up and it appears that I'm
using the PHP extention which does not appear to be a capable of
sending un-compressed XML which is a problem because Internet explorer
has a bug in it which breaks any flash movies receiving cached data.

So I'm now considering using the PHPXMLRPC extention. I understand
that using the EXTRAS package I should be able to create an environment
which is totally compatible with the PHP extension.

One of the features we use (a lot..) in the PHP extentions is the
ability that you can swap between XML-RPC format and simpleRPC. See:

http://xmlrpc-epi.sourceforge.net/main.php?t=php_api#output_options

Is that supported in the PHPXMLRPC implementation?

Thanks in advance.

Brian.

Uhm, looks more like a flash bug than IE one.
In general, any server which respects the http protocol will only send
compressed responses when the client declares support for it in the request.
To disable output compression done by php, you can
- check out the values of output_handler and zlib.output_compression in
php.ini file. If you control that file, you should disable both. Or you
can use ini_set from within your serever php file.
- verify if http compression is not done by the webserver after the php
processing (eg. by mod_deflate for apache)

Not yet, sorry. The reimplemented version of xmlrpc_server_call_method
does not honour the $output_options parameter at all.
It might be a nice addition, but I have no time frame for that.
