XMLRPC and non-ascii characters

[Joxean Koret]

Hi to all!

I'm having troubles to make my XMLRPC application working with non
ASCII characters.

Example:

1.- In one terminal run the following script:

-----------XMLRPC Server-------------
import SimpleXMLRPCServer

server = SimpleXMLRPCServer.SimpleXMLRPCServer(("localhost",8003))
def test():
return "Test with the non ascii character 'ñ'"

server.register_function(test)
server.serve_forever()
-----------XMLRPC Server-------------

2.- In a second terminal run this:

-----------XMLRPC Client-------------
import xmlrpclib

server = xmlrpclib.Server(("localhost", 8003))
server.test()

-----------XMLRPC Client-------------

When you runs the XMLRPC Client script the following error is raised:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/xmlrpclib.py", line 1032, in __call__
return self.__send(self.__name, args)
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/xmlrpclib.py", line 1319, in __request
verbose=self.__verbose
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/xmlrpclib.py", line 1083, in request
return self._parse_response(h.getfile(), sock)
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/xmlrpclib.py", line 1217, in _parse_response
p.feed(response)
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/xmlrpclib.py", line 528, in feed
self._parser.Parse(data, 0)
xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 5,
column 50

Any ideas of what can I do?

I don't think XMLRPC has a mechanism for specifying an encoding other
than UTF-8 (and that only by default). If you recode to that, you'll
probably be OK.
