etopian/twisted-xmlrpc-ssl

A twisted-based XMLRPC and SSL server. Developed by Calgary-based web design and web development experts, Etopian Inc.

This project has not been updated and does not work, use this instead:

https://github.com/etopian/python3-xmlrpc-ssl-basic-auth

What I needed to do to get this to work

• Install Twisted

• Install Zope Interfaces

• Install pyOpenSSL

• Install web2 from Twisted: (either from svn or for the Web2 package) svn co svn://svn.twistedmatrix.com/svn/Twisted/trunk Twisted

• Move web2 into twisted

• Make salted hash password (salt is the last 2 characters of the password) from crypt import crypt password = 'mypass' crypt(password, password[-2:]) #(use the last two characters as the salt)

• Add username/password to httpspass.conf

• Create a Twisted Client from twisted.web.xmlrpc import Proxy from twisted.internet import reactor

  def printValue(value): print repr(value) reactor.stop()

  def printError(error): print 'error', error reactor.stop()

  proxy = Proxy('https://%s:%s@localhost:9870' % ('myfancyusername', 'ohmygod')) proxy.callRemote('echo', 'hello, im echoing this').addCallbacks(printValue, printError) reactor.run()

• Start the server: twistd -y xmlrpc_app.py

• Test the client: python client.py

twisted-xmlrpc-ssl's Issues

Use Twisted Web instead of Twisted Web2

Development of Twisted Web2 is abandoned. Twisted Web2 is no longer present in the upstream version control system. No efforts are being made by the Twisted team to keep past releases of Twisted Web2 working with new releases of Twisted. If the Twisted Web2 code in this project is working now, that's just a lucky accident. As time goes on, it will be increasingly likely that something will fail entirely and leave this project unworking.
