This file will not be updated further.

2014-05-26 - G. Giunta (giunta.gaetano@gmail.com)

        * removed bundled phpunit
        * converted all tabs to spaces in php files and removed closing tags

2014-05-12 - Samu Voutilainen (smar@smar.fi)

        * removed obsolete xml.so open; dl() is deprecated and removed from 5.3.0
        * removed deprecated xmlEntities
        * removed deprecated xmlrpc_backslash
        * converted $GLOBALS to internal class. This makes testing much easier and should be more flexible regarding other projects
        * changed verifyhost from 1 to 2. This makes modern php versions work properly.
        * split off each class in its own file

2014-02-03 - G. Giunta (giunta.gaetano@gmail.com)

        * bumped up requirements to php 5.1.0

2014-01-10 - G. Giunta (giunta.gaetano@gmail.com)

        * xmlrpc.inc: when using curl and keepalive, reset curl handle if we did not get back an http 200 response (eg a 302)

        * testsuite.php, parse_args.php: update testsuite

        * debugger/controller.php: change default path to javascript debugger

2010-05-23 - G. Giunta (giunta.gaetano@gmail.com)

        * testsuite.php, parse_args.php: testsuite allows interrogating https servers ignoring their certs

        * xmlrpc.inc: method setAcceptedCompression was failing to disable reception
        of compressed responses if the client supported them (triggering a bug with
        https and php < 5.3 on windows); remove a php warning that could be
        generated when using debug=2 in a client connecting to an https
        server

        comments added

        * xmlrpc.inc: a bit of code optimization: reorder switch() statements of
        xml parsing element handlers; inline code for xmlrpcval() - this breaks

        All of the files that reference this functionality have been modified accordingly.

        * made wrap_xmlrpc_method generate better code (with php type juggling), and
        some phpdoc for the generated function, too

        * added to debugger an option to produce for the user the generated php code
        for wrapping a call to a remote method into a php function

2006-06-22 Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpcs.inc: added description of parameters for system.xxx methods (useful with

        * xmlrpc.inc: make xmlrpc_client::setDebug() accept int values instead of
        boolean. At level 2, the request payload is printed to screen before being
        sent; fix bug with repeated sending of the same msg object and using request
        compression w. php 5.1.2 (objects passed by ref by default!!!)

        * xmlrpcs.inc: fix detection of clients accepting compressed responses

        * comment.php: remove warnings due to liberal usage of $HTTP_POST/GET_VARS

        * benchmark.php: add a test using http compression of both requests and
        responses

        * testsuite.php: added test for fix in xmlrpc.inc

2006-01-17  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpcs.php: minor fix: do not raise a PHP warning when std server is
        called via GET (global HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA undefined). Some might have called
        it a security breach (path disclosure)...

2006-01-15  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * testsuite.php: minor fix to expected date format in http cookie hedaer
        to cope with PHP 5.1.2

2006-01-05  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpcs.inc: merge code from the 'extras' subclass that allows server
        to register plain php functions in dispatch map instead of functions
        accepting a single xmlrpcmgs obj parameter.
        One step closer to the kitchen sink!!!

2005-12-31  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpcs.inc: let the server accept 'class::method' syntax in the dispatch
        map

        * testsuite.php, server.php: added new tests for the recent charset encoding
        capabilities

2005-12-24  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: correctly serialize() string xmlrpcvals that have been
        created out of non-string php variables, when internal encoding is UTF8;
        serialize to '0' int and double values created out of non-string php
        variables, eg. 'hello', instead of creating invalid xmlrpc;
        extend the php_xmlrpc_encode function to allow serializing string values
        to charsets other tha US-ASCII;
        minor tweak to xml parsing to allow correct parsing of empty strings when
        in 'direct to php values' mode

        * xmlrpcs.inc: advances in system.multicall with plain php values

2005-12-17  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpcs.inc: let the functions implementing the system.* methods work
        fine when called with plain php values as parameters instead of xmlrpcmsg
        objects (multicall not quite finished yet...);
        encode level 3 debug info as base64 data, to avoid charset encoding hell

        * xmlrpc.inc: added a new xmlrpc_2_php_type function, to get the name of
        php types corresponding to xmlrpc types;
        in debug mode, when detecting base64 server debug info, print it out fine

        * server.php: cosmetic fixes

2005-12-09  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: remove one warning emitted when received xml contains an
        unknown tag; remove warnings emitted when custom error handler is set
        and user calls php_xmlrpc_encode/decode without the 2nd parameter

        * xmlrpcs.inc: added a param to service(), to allow the server to parse
        data other than the POST body (useful for subclassing and debugging);
        reworked the implementation of server debug messages at debug level 2:
        since the debug info generated has no known charset, and putting it back
        into the response's xml would most likely break it, send it back to the
        client as a base64 encoded comment. Clients can decode it if they need it...
        Add some more javadocs

        * testsuite.php: modified the string test, to see if the server can echo
        back to the client the received data without breaking the response's xml

2005-12-05  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc, xmlrpcs.inc: let server and client objects decide if they
        want to use some charset encoding other than US-ASCII for serialized data:
        add a new var to both objects, and lots of parameters to function calls
        that took none up to now;
        refactored server method service() and parseRequest(), implementing a
        new parserequestHeaders() method to explicitly deal with HTTP

2005-12-01  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * moved the jsonrpc implementation and the new wsdl stuff to a separate
        CVS module; updated the makefile to reflect it

2005-11-24  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * modified php_xmlrpc_decode() to work on xmlrpcmessages too, besides
        xmlrpcvals. To achieve this, added a new method: xmlrpcmsg::kindOf()

2005-11-22  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * released as 2.0 RC2

2005-11-21  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: fix warnings about references for PHP 4.1.X

        * Whitespace cleanup on all the lib

2005-11-16  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: rewritten xmlrpc_encode_entitites adding two extra parameters
        that specify input and output charset encodings. This corrects the bug that
        prevented native UTF-8 strings to be correctly serialized (to have them
        encoded the user must set $xmlrpc_internalencoing appropriately).

        * xmlrpc.inc: added new method xmlrpcmsg::parseResponseHeaders(), refactoring
        parseResponse(). This makes the code more modular and eases subclassing.

        * xmlrpc.inc: set cookies and http headers to xmlrpcresp objs even when calls
        to send() do not complete correctly

        * added new file: jsonrpcs.inc, to accomodate server jsonrpc objects in the future

        * jsonrpc.inc: slow progress...

2005-11-10  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: fixed the xmlrpc_client send and sendpayloadhttps methods
        to fix errors in calling https servers;
        added a new xmlrpc_client->setkey method to allow usage of client-side ssl
        certs in recent php builds;
        added to xmlrpcresp objects a content_type var, to be used in HTTP headers

        * xmlrpcs.inc: separate generation of content-type http header and xml prologue
        from the service() method, to ease subclassing

2005-11-03  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: moved the 'text/xml' mimetype string as class var of the xmlrpcmsg
        object instead of having it cabled into xmlrpc_client->send(): this allows to
        create subclasses of xmlrpcmsg that use a different mimetype

        * jsonrpc.inc: added a new file, with an extremely experimental set of classes,
         designed to implement a json-rpc client and server, taking advantage of the
         existing xml-rpc infrastructure

2005-10-28  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: changed constructor method for xmlrpcresp, making it smarter in
        case user does not declare the type of value it is passing to it;
        minor changes in serialization of xmlrpcresp with error codes, so that it
        utputs LF instead of CRLF on windows boxes after an FTP transfer of the code, too

2005-10-26  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: added a new var of class xmlrpc_client, indicating what kind of
        object will be stored in the value() of xmlrpcresp's gotten from the send()
        method: xmlrpxc objects, plain php variables or raw xml. This allow the coder
        to make use of xmlrpc_decode for better performances if he wishes so.
        Modified creator of xmlrpcresp class to allow it to distinguish between being
        created out of raw xml or a plain php string (in the former case, serialization
        is still possible, opening a new world of opportunity for server-side programming:
        the php function implementing a web service has to provide the xml for the
        return value on its own).
        Modified xmlrpc_client::multicall() to suit; also added a new parameter which
        allows calls to multicall without automatic fallback to many-calls in case of
        error (speeding up the process of doing a failed multicall() call quite a bit)
        Fixed two bugs in guess_encoding.
        Audited all regexps and fixed some.
        xmlrpc_client::send() does not call xmlrpcmsg::parseresponsefile() anymore.
        Shuffled parseresponse() a little bit

        * testsuite.php: added a new testcase for the modifications to multicall():
        now we test the case where xmlrpc_client returns php values, too

2005-10-24  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: fixed guess_encoding() to always return uppercase chars

        * added new file: benchmark.php. It contains a few tests used to evaluate
        speed of the lib in common use cases

        * added file parse_args.php, containing common code for benchmark and
        testsuite, and modified testsuite.php accordingly

        * modified makefile adding new files

        * testsuite.php: added a couple of new test cases; fixed one warning
        emitted in php 5 E_STRICT mode

2005-10-20  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: modify 3d param of ParseResponse(), allowing the function to
        return the raw xml received as value of the xmlrpcresponse object.
        This allows eg. to have epi-xmlrpc decode the xml for faster execution.

2005-10-09  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: fixed error that prevented usage of HTTPS (the client
        always determined that ssl support was not present)

2005-10-03  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc, xmlrpcs.inc: revert direction of stack growth during xml
        parsing for faster execution time; add support for detecting charset
        encoding of received xml; add support for cookies; better parsing of
        javadoc when building stub code in wrap_php_function; add a lot of
        javadoc comments everywhere; rewrite most error messages

        * testsuite.php: add many tests for newly introduced features

        * server.php: add a couple of new functions to support debugging new
        features

        * debugger: add switches to enable all the latest lib features; minor
        improvements to layout

        * synch included phpunit with latest PEAR release

        * reorganize files included in the distribution in a new hierarchy of folders

        * bump revision number to 2.0RC1 and release

2005-8-14  Miles Lott <milos@groupwhere.org>

        * xmlrpc.inc, xmlrpcs.inc: Remove all use of eval() to avoid potential
        security hole.

        * As of this release we are no longer php3-compatible.

2005-8-10 Miles Lott <milos@groupwhere.org>

        * xmlrpc.inc, xmlrpcs.inc: Switched to using $GLOBALS instead of calling
        global $varname

2005-07-22  Miles Lott <milos@groupwhere.org>

        * Removed: bug_* files

2005-07-14  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * debugger: added a workaround to disable using the debugger for attacking
        older versions of the lib

        * testsuite.php: added code to test wrap_xmlrpc_method;
        use different wording for failed tests

        * xmlrpcs.inc: change for() with foreach() in system.* methods implementations;
        remove a possible cause of php warning;

        * xmlrpc.inc: let wrap_php_function and wrap_xmlrpc_method find suitable
        function names if default function names are already in use;
        correct wrap_xmlrpc_method to not set http protocol to 1.0 when not asked to;
        detect curl compiles without SSL

2005-07-14  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: more auto-fix of xmlrpc_client path: '' -> '/';
        change to the method used for detecting failed evals (php 4.0.x compatibility);
        complete rework of return-by-ref functions to comply with php 4.4.0

        * xmlrpcs.inc: change to the method used for detecting failed evals (php 4.0.x
        compatibility)

        * testsuite.php: major rewrite of the multi- tests, to give better feedback on
        number of failed tests;
        flush html page title to screen before starting tests;

2005-07-13  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: let xmlrpcmsg creator be forgiving of target paths that miss the
        starting '/' char;
        completely reworked assign-by-ref to be compliant with php 4.4.0 stricter
        warnings

        * testsuite.php: added ability to be run from cli: (really dumb) separation of
        html and plain text outputs + parsing of argv parameters

2005-07-12  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: compatibility fixes with PHP versions 4.0.x (and remove some for
        PHP 3)

        * xmlrpcs.inc: compatibility fixes for PHP 4.0.x versions

        * testsuite.php: better support for running with php versions 4.0.x;
        do not generate runtime errors but finish tests anyway if some calls to
        localhost fail;
        correctly detect a localhost port different from 80 for running tests against

2005-07-11  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: preliminary building of method signature and docs in
        wrap_php_function;
        fix a bug in extracting function description from javadoc block in
        wrap_php_function;
        small fix for better compatibility with php < 4.2.0

        * added compat subdir with extra code, taken form PEAR package Compat, to let
        the lib run fine with php 4 versions < 4.1

2005-07-10  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: some nazi whitespace corrections;
        declared global $xmlrpcBoolean too (was the only one missing);
        used @eval inside getval() to have less path disclosure security reports filed
        in the future;
        added new global var: $xmlrpcValue, to be used in server dispatch maps as
        placeholder for a param which can be of any kind;
        big chunks (but still incomplete) of javadoc parsing in wrap_php_function
        + changed type of return val - now it is the complete array to be put in the
        dispatch map

        * xmlrpcs.inc: let previous error handler be called by server to handle errors
        even if in debug level 3;
        default to compress responses if zlib installed;
        added a new val useful for only checking number (not type) of params in method
        calls;
        let user use object methods in dispatch map using the
        array($obj, 'fmethodname') format

        * server.php: Added code called by testsuite.php to exercise registration of
        object methods as xmlrpc methods and auto-registration of php functions as xmlrpc
        methods

        * testsuite.php: added tests to exercice server registering object methods as
        xmlrpc methods and automatic registration of php functions as server methods;
        added a hint to enable debug if some test goes wrong;
        renamed https test for better clarity

2005-07-07  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: added function to be used for 'guestimating' charset encoding of
        received xml (not activated yet)

        * server.php: Let server compress content by default if user asks so: it allows
        testsuite to check for compressed responses

        * testsuite.php: added suite of tests for compressed responses; test CURL
        (http1.1) with all possible compression combinations too

2005-07-06  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: Enable setting usage of keepalives on/off (for CURL cases);
        implement compression of xmlrpc requests; enable new syntax of xmlrpclient
        constructor: 1 - allow preferred http method to be set at creation time,
        2 - allow user to insert a single complete URL as only parameter and parse it;
        try to detect if curl is present whether it has been compiled w. zlib to enable
        automatically the reception of compressed responses

        * xmlrpcs.inc: do not add into logs the content of the request, if it was
        received gzipped/deflated, to avoid breaking the xml sent back as response
        (NB: might be investigated further: is the problem caused by windows chars in
        the range 128-160 ?)

        * testsuite.php: run all localhost tests 2 more times, to stress request
        compression;
        run all localhost tests in a row using keepalives, to test keepalive
        functionality

2005-07-05  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: let CURL pass back to caller function the complete PHP headers
        as it did before: it enables better logging / debugging of communication;
        small change to the way CURL declares its ability to receive compressed
        messages (fix for the case where zlib is compiled in PHP but not in curl);
        added Keep-alive (ON BY DEFAULT) for http 1.1 and https messages (had to modify
        a lot of functions for that);
        always make sure a 'Connection: close' header is sent with curl connections if
        keep-alive is not wanted

        * phpunit.php: switched to PEAR PHPUnit (rel 1.2.3), since it is maintained a
        lot more than the old version we were using

        * added new folder with code of phpunit classes

        * testsuite.php: added a new run of tests to check for compliance of client
        when using http 1.1;
        switched to PEAR PHPUnit classes;
        divided test for client ability to do multicall() into 2 separate tests

2005-06-30  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        tagged and released version 1.1.1, backporting security fixes from HEAD

2005-06-28  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpcs.inc: fix changes introuced yesterday in a rush;
        do not list system.* methods for a server that has them explicitly disabled

        * bug_inject.xml: new test case used to check for code injection vulnerability

        * testsuite.php: added a test case for zero parameters method calls;
        added two test cases for recently found code injection vulnerabilities

2005-06-27  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: (tentative) fix for security problem reported by
        security@gulftech.org: we were not properly php-escaping xml received for
        BASE64 and NAME tags;
        some more patching related to junk received in xml messages/responses: if the
        PHP code built from the parsed xml is broken, catch any generated errors
        without echoing it to screen but take note of the error and propagate to user
        code

        * xmlrpcs.inc: some more patching related to junk received in xml messages/
        responses: if the PHP code built from the parsed xml is broken, catch any
        generated errors without echoing it to screen but take note of the error and
        propagate to user code

2005-06-24  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: fixed php_xmlrpc_encode detection of php arrays (again!);
        removed from wrap_php_function the part about setting a custom error handler
        (it can be activated using the more general $server->setdebug(3) anyway)

        * xmlrpcs.inc: added to server the capability to trap all processing errors
        during execution of user functions and add them to debug info inside responses;
        return a (new) xmlrpcerr response instead of raising some obscure php execution
        error if there is an undefined function in the dispatch map

        * testsuite.php: Added new testcases for recently implemented stuff

2005-06-23  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: added new method: xmlrpcval->structmemexists, to check for
        presence of a wanted struct member without having to loop through all members;
        fix wrap_php_functions: correctly return false for php internal functions,
        whose param list is unknown;
        let addscalar fail as it should if called on struct vals;
        fix addstruct: do not fail when called for adding stuff to initialized structs;
        removed a warning generated when calling addscalar with inexistent type;
        massive code review for speed: replaced each() loops with foreach(), removed
        lots of useless assignments and duplications of data;
        added 'http11' as valid method param for xmlrpclient->send: makes use of curl
        for sending http 1.1 requests;
        changed a couple '=' into '=&' where objects are returned;
        fixed wrap_php_function() to better detect php errors while processing wrapped
        function

        * xmlrpcs.inc: Fix php warnings generated when clients requested method
        signature / description for a method that had none in its dispatch map;
        turned server->debug into an integer value that will change the amount of
        logging going as comments into xmlrpc responses

        * server.php: set default server debug level to 2

        * testsuite.php: removed calls to deleted functions (xmlrpc_encode,
        xmlrpc_decode);
        added html page title describing target servers used for tests;
        added an assign-by-ref

        * phpunit.php: Do not consider as failures PHP 5 E_STRICT errors (arbitrary
        choice, but lib is targeted at PHP 4)

2005-06-22  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: removed lottsa old code that had been left in commented

        * xmlrpc.inc: fixed setting of proxy port

        * xmlrpc.inc: removed one warning when trying to decompress junk sent as
        deflated response

        * xmlrpc.inc: changed the error messages (but not the code) that will be found
        in xmlrpcresponses when there are socket errors, to differentiate from HTTP
        errors

        * xmlrpc.inc: refactored xmlrpcclient->sendpayloadHTTPS: now it calls a new
        method (sendpayloadCURL) that could be used also for generating HTTP 1.1
        requests

        * xmlrpc.inc: added two new methods: wrap_php_function and wrap_xmlrpc_method:
        designed to let the lazy programmer automagically convert php functions to
        xmlrpc methods and vice versa. Details are in the code

        * debugger/*: added initial revision of a 'universal xmlrpc debugger'

2005-06-20  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: replace usage of 'echo' with error_log when errors arise
        in manipulation of xmlrpcval objects

        * xmlrpc.inc: replaced <br> with <br /> in dump function

        * xmlrpc.inc: added method structsize to xmlrpcval class (alias for arraysize)

        * xmlrpc.inc: addarray() now will add extra members to an xmlrpcval object
        of array type; addstruct() can be used to add members to an xmlrpcval object
        of struct type

        * xmlrpcs.inc: Added member allow_system_funcs to server: controls whether the
        server accepts or not calls to system.* functions

2005-05-10  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: fix regression in php_xmlrpc_encode when encoding php hashes;
        fix decompression of gzip/deflated xmlrpc responses;
        set user agent string correctly in SSL mode (was forgetting lib name);
        add allowed encoding http headers in requests;
        do not pass http headers back from curl to parseresponse, to avoid re-decoding
        compressed xml or http 100 headers

        * xmlrpcs.inc: added method setDebug;
        renamed compress_output to compress_response;
        do not try to set http headers if they have already been sent, because trying
        to do so will raise a PHP error, and if headers have been sent something has
        gone wrong already (shall we send a meaningful error response instead?)

2005-05-08  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpcs.inc, xmlrpcs.inc: reverted to usage of '=& new' for better
        performance on (some) php4 installs.
        NB: PHP 3 compatibility is deprecated from now on!

        * xmlrpc.inc: decode xmlrpc boolean type to native php boolean

        * xmlrpcs.inc, xmlrpcs.inc: switched $_xh[$parser] to $_xh, since indexing
        an array by object will give a warning in php 5 (and we were resetting the
        array of _xh elements on every call anyway)

        * xmlrpc.inc: commented unused code used originally for escaping content

        * xmlrpc.inc: commented deprecated methods xmlrpc_encode and xmlrpc_decode

        * xmlrpc.inc: php_xmlrpc_encode: encode integer-indexed php arrays as xmlrpc
        arrays instead of structs; if object given to encode is an xmlrpcval return it
        instead of reencoding (makes easier calling encode on an array of xmlrpcvals)

        * xmlrpcs.inc: added $debug field to server class; if false will prevent
        the server from echoing debug info back to the client as xml comment

        * xmlrpcs.inc: let the server add to the debug messages the complete request
        payload received and (if php installed as apache module) http headers, so that
        the client in debug mode can echo a complete fingerprint of the communication

        * xmlrpcs.inc: changed API of ParseRequest method: now it cannot be called
        without a 'data' parameter; added 2nd parameter (http encoding); changed the
        call to this method from inside service() method

        * xmlrpc.inc, xmlrpcs.inc: enable both server and client to parse compressed xml
        (if php is compiled with zlib); client should also be able to decode chunked
        http encoding

        * xmlrpc.inc: add support for proxies (only basic auth supported); default port
        is 8080 (if left unspecified)

        * xmlrpc.inc: use lowercase for names of http headers received (makes using
        them much simpler, since servers can use any upper/lowercase combination)

        * xmlrpc.inc: bumped version number to '2.0 beta'

2005-05-08  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * release of version 1.1

2005-04-24  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpcs.inc: removed charset declaration from xml prologue of responses,
        since we are now escaping all non-ascii chars in an encoding-independent way

        * bug_http.xml: modified to exercise some extra functonality of the lib
        (it should now be failed by the current PEAR implementation of the lib)

        * xmlrpc.inc: bumped up rev. number to 1.1

        * doc/xmlrpc_php.xml, doc/announce1_1.txt: documentation updates

        * Makefile: updated to reflect new xml doc source, modified filelist

2005-04-17  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * client.php, agesort.php, introspect.php, introspect_demo.php,
        which.php, test.pl, test.py: use as default target the server.php page hosted
        on phpxmlrpc.sf.net

        * server.php: fix for register_globals off; refer to docs on phpxmlrpc.sf.net

2005-04-15 Miles Lott <milos@groupwhere.org>

        code formatting and comments

2005-04-03  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: make use of global var $xmlrpcName in building User_Agent HTTP
        header (in conjunction with $xmlrpcVersion)

        * agesort.php, client.php, comment.php, dicuss.php, mail.php, server.php,
        which.php: various janitorial fixes
        + always html escape content received from xmlrpc server or from user input
        + make the scripts run fine with register_globals off an register_long_arrays off
        + always use the functions php_xmlrpc_en(de)code, even if the EPI extension
        is not installed
        + in mail.php, allow user to see script source even if support for .phps files
        is not configured in the local web server

        * testsuite.php: better detection of local webserver hostname for running tests
        against (if the user did not supply a webserver name)

2005-03-21  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpcs.inc: revert to a PHP3 compatible script (change '=& new' to '= new')

        * xmlrpc.inc: revert to a PHP3 compatible script (lottsa fixes)

        * testsuite.php: default to using local server as test target if no user
        provided values are available instead of heddley.com server

        * testsuite.php: play nice to PHP3 in retrieving user-passed values

        * testsuite.php: fix constructor method name for a type of tests

        * phpunit.php: fix all cases of call-time-pass-by-ref

        * phpunit.php: rename Exception class to _Exception if the script is run with
        PHP 5 (exception is a reserverd word)

2005-03-19  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: fixed bug in new http header parsing code in case there is
        no correct separator between response headers and body

        * xmlrpc.inc: added recognizing and stripping of HTTP/1.1 100 response headers

        * xmlrpc.inc: strip extra whitespace from response body, as well as any junk
        that comes after the last </MethodResponse> tag. It allows the server code to
        be put on public providers that add e.g. javascript advertising to served pages

        * xmlrpc.inc: removed unused parts of code, trailing whitespace

        * xmlrpc.inc: fix possible bug (?) in xmlrpc_ee for BOOLEAN values: true was
        being handled differently than false

        * testsuite.php: added a new file-based test to stress the response parsing
        modifications recently introduced; enabled debugging for file based tests

2005-03-15  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: fixed missing declaration of global vars in xmlrpc_dh,
        sendpayloadhttps and sendpayloadhttp10

        * xmlrpc.inc: changed error message for invalid responses: 'enable debugging'
        is more clear that 'enabling debugging' (the user is being encouraged to do it)

        * xmlrpc.inc: rewrote HTTP response header parsing. It should be more tolerant
        of invalid headers, give more accurate error messages and be marginally faster,
        too.

        * xmlrpc.inc: cosmetic whitespace fixes and remove useless one-liners

        * xmlrpc.inc: build a shorter PHP command line to be evaluated for rebuilding
        values from parsed xml: use '$val =& nex xmlrpcval("value")' for string values
        instead of '$val =& nex xmlrpcval("value", $xmlrpcString)'

        * xmlrpc.inc: fix change introduced 2005/01/30 moving call to curl_close()
        too early: it did not work on error situations

        * testsuite.php: fix name of testAddingTest method, renamed testErrosString
        into testErrorString and removed useless warning for register_globals=off case

2005-02-27  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: do not echo XML parsing error to screen (it is already dumped
        into error log)

        * xmlrpc.inc: set hdrs field into response object in case of XML parsing error
        (uniform behaviour with other responses)

2005-02-26  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: use global var $xmlrpcVersion as number for user agent string

        * xmlrpcs.inc: eliminate server side PHP warning and give back to caller
        a better error msg in case the called method exists but no signature matches
        the number of parameters

2005-02-20  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: accept a + sign in front of floats / integers, since the spec
        clearly mentions it

        * xmlrpc.inc, xmlrpcs.inc: renamed function XmlEntities to xmlrpc_encode_entitites,
        to avoid using the same name as an array already defined

        * xmlrpc.inc: fix bug introduced with escaping of UTF8 chars in xmlrpc error
        responses: correct behaviour is to escape chars inside serialize(), not when
        calling the xmlrpcresp creator

        * testsuite.php: made test suite more friendly to modern PHP configs, allowing
        register_globals to be off and to set in the URL all testing parameters;
        added tests for newly introduced fixes; renamed existing tests acording to the
        docs inside phpunit.php (e.g. no subclass of TestCase should have a name
        starting with test...)

2005-02-19  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: accept patch 683153 by mah0: if timeout is set, allow all socket
        operations to timeout at the given time, not only the socket connection

2005-02-13  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: be tolerant to double values received in exponential notation:
        even though the spec forbids their usage PHP is fine with them

        * xmlrpc.inc: fix bug: new xmlrpcval('-1') was creating an empty value instead
        of a string value!

        * xmlrpc.inc, xmlrpcs.inc: fix the payload encoding changes introduced by
        Andres Salomon on 2004-03-17: sending named html entities inside an xml chunk
        makes it invalid, and thus renders the lib absolutely non-interoperable with
        any other xmlrpc implementation; moreover the current implementation only ever
        worked for non-ascii requests, while breaking client-parsing of responses
        containing non-ascii chars.
        The principle of using entities is preserved though, because it allows the
        client to send correct xml regardless of php internal charset encoding vs.
        xml request charset encoding, but using 'character references' instead.

        * xmlrpc.inc: encode (non-ascii) chars into charset entities also for error
        strings

        * xmlrpcs.inc: encode (non-ascii) chars into charset entities also for debug
        messages

        * xmlrpcs.inc: added 'Accept-Charset' header in http request to let the server
        know what kind of charset encoding we do expect to be used for responses

        * xmlrpc.inc, xmlrpcs.inc: explicitly tell the xml parser what charset the
        application expects to receive content in (notably strings). A new variable,
        $xmlrpc_internalencoding, (defaulting to ISO-8859-1) defines what charset the
        parser will use for passing back string xmlrpcvals to the PHP application
        (both server-side and client-side).
        This allows transparent usage of e.g. UTF-8 for encoding xml messages between
        server and client and ISO-8859-1 for internal string handling.
        ISO-8859-1 is, AFAIK, PHP internal encoding for all installs except
        mbstring-enabled ones.

2005-02-12  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpcs.inc: use '$var =& new(' construct to assign objects: on older versions
        of PHP objects are first built then copied over if the ampersand is omitted.
        Using it should make the code a little bit faster...

        * doc/xmlrpc.php: update lib version number, release date in preparation for
        next release

        * makefile: update lib version number in preparation for next release

        * xmlrpc.inc: split up parsing of xmlrpc INT and DOUBLE values. This allows
        finer-grained control over valid values: now the '.' char is not allowed
        any more inside int values.

        * xmlrpc.inc: fix for bug #560303: ints and doubles starting with '0' chars are
        no more parsed as octal values

2005-01-30  Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: Modifed last change by Miles: the functions php_xmlrpc_encode
        and php_xmlrpc_decode are now always defined, regardless of the existence of
        XMLRPC-EPI.  This allows users to start using these functions as the 'default'
        functions, and pave the way for future deprecation of xmlrpc_encode/encode
        while maintaining a stable API.

        * xmlrpc.inc: use '$var =& new(' construct to assign objects: on older versions
        of PHP objects are first built then copied over if the ampersand is omitted.
        Using it should make the code a little bit faster...

        * xmlrpc.inc: close curl connection as soon as possible for https requests:
        it could save some memory / resources.

        * xmlrpc.inc: added some extra info in the PHP error log message generated
        when an invalid xmlrpc integer/float value is encountered and we try to
        deserialize it.

        * xmlrpc.inc: added @ char before fsockopen to avoid echoing useless warnings
        when connection to server fails; added the same to avoid echoing warnings when
        deserializing data of an unknown type

        * xmlrpc.inc: reset the _xh array on each xmlrpc call: otherwise a new array
        member is created for each consecutive call and never destroyed, thus making it
        impossible to build an xmlrpc-client daemon beacuse of memory leaking.

        * xmlrpc.inc: declare global the variables that are used as 'constants',
        so that xmlrpc.inc will work even if it is included from within a function

2004-12-27  Miles Lott <milos@groupwhere.org>
        * xmlrpc.inc: A new constant, XMLRPC_EPI_ENABLED, is defined depending on
        the existence of the function, xmlrpc_decode.  This function will exist in
        PHP if the extension, XMLRPC-EPI (http://xmlrpc-epi.sourceforge.net), is
        loaded.  It defines the functions xmlrpc_encode and xmlrpc_decode, which
        will conflict with functions of the same name in xmlrpc.inc.  If this
        extension is loaded, we instead use the names php_xmlrpc_encode and
        php_xmlrpc_decode.  Please look at server.php, testsuite.php, etc., for
        how this should be handled if using these functions.

2003-04-17  Andres Salomon  <dilinger@voxel.net>
        * xmlrpc.inc: encode strings using htmlentities() instead of
        htmlspecialchars(), and add xmlrpc_html_entity_xlate().  This
        should fix longstanding issues with sending weird chars (from
        non-USASCII codesets like UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, etc) that caused
        the xml parser to choke.  Multi-byte chars are now changed to
        entities before sending, so that the xmlrpc server doesn't need
        to know the encoding type of the POST data.
        * xmlrpcs.inc: call xmlrpc_html_entity_xlate before parsing
        request packet.  The parser chokes on unknown entities (the
        entities created by htmlentities() are exactly that; html
        entities, not xml entities), so they must be converted from
        name form (&eacute;) to numerical form (&#233;).

2003-01-12  Andres Salomon  <dilinger@voxel.net>

        * released 1.0.99.2.
        * Makefile: separate doc/Makefile a bit more from Makefile,
        and add clean rules.

2003-01-10  Andres Salomon  <dilinger@voxel.net>

        * xmlrpc.inc: xmlrpcresp and parseResponse cleanups; variable
        name renames ('xv' to 'val', for example), type checking, and
        stricter default values.
        * xmlrpc.inc: fix xmlrpcresp's faultcode; return -1 for FAULT
        responses from the server whose faultcodes don't reflect any
        errors.

2003-01-08  Andres Salomon  <dilinger@voxel.net>

        * xmlrpc.inc: rename $_xh[$parser]['ha'] to
        $_xh[$parser]['headers'].
        * xmlrpc.inc: fix bugs related to $_xh[$parser]['headers];
        some places treated this as an array, others as a scalar.
        Treat unconditionally as an array.  Also wrap header debugging
        output in PRE tags.

2002-12-17  Andres Salomon  <dilinger@voxel.net>

        * released 1.0.99.
        * Makefile: changed the tarball format/dist rule to a more
        conventional form, as well as normal release updates.
        * xmlrpc.inc: added setSSLVerifyPeer and setSSLVerifyHost; as
        of curl 7.10, various certificate checks are done (by default).
        The default for CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST is to ensure the common
        name on the cert matches the provided hostname. This breaks a
        lot of stuff, so allow users to override it.
        * doc/xmlrpc_php.sgml: updated documentation accordingly.

2002-09-06  Geoffrey T. Dairiki  <dairiki@dairiki.org>

        Add support for system.multicall() to both the client
        and the server.

        * testsuite.php: Add new tests 'testServerMulticall',
        and 'testClientMulticall'.

        * xmlrpc.inc: Added new error messages for system.multicall().
        * xmlrpcs.inc: Added new procedure call system.multicall().
        See http://www.xmlrpc.com/discuss/msgReader$1208 for details.

        * xmlrpc.inc: Added system.multicall functionality to
        xmlrpc_client.  xmlrpc_client::send can now take an array of
        xmlrpcmsg's as an argument.  In that case it will attempt
        to execute the whole array of procure calls in a single
        HTTP request using system.multicall().  (If that attempt fails,
        then the calls will be excuted one at a time.)  The return
        value will be an array of xmlrpcresp's (or 0 upon transport
        failure.)

2001-11-29  Edd Dumbill  <edd@usefulinc.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: fixed problem with processing HTTP headers that
        broke any payload with more than one consecutive newline in it.
        also initialise the 'ac' array member to empty string at start.
        * testsuite.php: added unit test to exercise above bug
        * xmlrpcs.inc: fixed uninitialized variable $plist

2001-09-25  Edd Dumbill  <edd@usefulinc.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: applied urgent security fixes as identified by Dan
        Libby

2001-08-27  Edd Dumbill  <edd@usefulinc.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: Merged in HTTPS support from Justin Miller, with a
        few additions for better traceability of failure conditions. Added
        small fix from Giancarlo Pinerolo. Bumped rev to 1.0. Changed
        license to BSD license.

2001-06-15  Edd Dumbill  <edd@usefulinc.com>

        * xmlrpcs.inc: Added \r into return MIME headers for server class

2001-04-25  Edd Dumbill  <edd@usefulinc.com>

        * server.php: Added interop suite of methods.

2001-04-24  Edd Dumbill  <edd@usefulinc.com>

        * testsuite.php: added in test case for string handling bug.

        * xmlrpc.inc: merged in minor fixes from G Giunta to fix
        noninitialization. Created new method, getval(), which includes
        experimental support for recreating nested arrays, from Giunta and
        Sofer. Fixed string handling bug where characters after </string>
        but before </value> weren't ignored. Added in support for native
        boolean type into xmlrpc_encode (Giunta).

        * xmlrpcs.inc: updated copyright notice

2001-01-15  Edd Dumbill  <edd@usefulinc.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: fixed bug with creation of booleans. Put checks in
        to ensure that numbers were really numeric. Fixed bug with
        non-escaping of dollar signs in strings.

        * testsuite.php: created test suite.

2000-08-26  Edd Dumbill  <edd@usefulinc.com>

        * xmlrpcs.inc: added xmlrpc_debugmsg() function which outputs
        debug information in comments inside the return payload XML

        * xmlrpc.inc: merged in some changes from Dan Libby which fix up
        whitespace handling.

        * xmlrpcs.inc: added Content-length header on response (bug from
        Jan Varga <varga@utcru.sk>. This means you can no longer print
        during processing

        * xmlrpc.inc: changed ereg_replace to str_replace in several
        places (thanks to Dan Libby <dan@libby.com> for this).

        * xmlrpc.inc: added xmlrpc_encode() and xmlrpc_decode() from Dan
        Libby--these helper routines make it easier to work in native PHP
        data structures.

2000-07-21  Edd Dumbill  <edd@usefulinc.com>

        * xmlrpc.inc: added xmlrpc_client::setCredentials method to pass
        in authorization information, and modified sendPayload* methods to
        send this OK. Thanks to Grant Rauscher for the impetus to do this.
        Also, made the client send empty <params></params> if there are no
        parameters set by the user.

        * doc/xmlrpc_php.sgml: updated documentation to reflect recent
        changes


2000-07-18  Edd Dumbill  <edd@usefulinc.com>

        * server.php: added examples.invertBooleans method to server as a
        useful test method for boolean values.

        * xmlrpc.inc: rearranged the way booleans are handled to fix
        outstanding problems. Fixed calling addScalar() on arrays so it
        works. Finally fixed backslashification issues to remove the
        problem will dollar signs disappearing.

        * booltest.php: really fixed booleans this time.

2000-06-03  Edd Dumbill  <edd@usefulinc.com>

        * xmlrpcs.inc: made signature verification more useful - now
        returns what it found was wrong

        * xmlrpc.inc: fixed bug with decoding dateTimes. Also fixed a bug
        which meant a PHP syntax error happened when attempting to receive
        empty arrays or structs. Also fixed bug with booleans always being
        interpreted as 'true'.

        * server.php: Added validator1 suite of tests to test against
        validator.xmlrpc.com


2000-05-06  Edd Dumbill  <edd@usefulinc.com>

        * released 1.0b6

        * added test.pl and test.py, Perl and Python scripts that exercise
        server.php somewhat (but not a lot)

        * added extra fault condition for a non 200 OK response from the
        remote server.

        * added iso8601_encode() and iso8601_decode() to give some support
        for passing dates around. They translate to and from UNIX
        timestamps. Updated documentation accordingly.

        * fixed string backslashification -- was previously a little
        overzealous! new behavior is '\' --> '\\' and '"' -->
        '\"'. Everything else gets left alone.

2000-04-12  Edd Dumbill  <edd@usefulinc.com>

        * updated and bugfixed the documentation

        * fixed base 64 encoding to only happen at serialize() time,
        rather than when a base64 value is created. This fixes the double
        encoding bug reported by Nicolay Mausz
        <castor@flying-dog.com>. The same approach ought to be taken with
        encoding XML entities in the data - this is a TODO.

        * integrated further code from Peter Kocks: used his new code for
        send(), adding a second, optional, parameter which is a timeout
        parameter to fsockopen()

        * updated the documentation

1999-10-08  Edd Dumbill  <edd@usefulinc.com>

        * added system.* methods and dispatcher, plus documentation

        * fixed bug which meant request::getNumParams was returning an
        incorrect value

        * added signatures into the dispatch map. This BREAKS
        COMPATIBILITY with previous releases of this code

        * made entity encoding and decoding transparent now on string
        passing.

        * de-globalised the globals in the parse routines, using an
        associative array to hold all parser state $_xh

        * changed default input encoding to be UTF-8 to match expectation

        * separated out parseResponse into parseResponse and
        parseResponseFile so that you can call parseResponse on a string
        if you have one handy

        * Moved documentation into Docbook format

1999-07-19  Edd Dumbill  <edd@usefulinc.com>

        * Added an echo server into server.php and echotest.php, a client
        which will exercise the new echo routine.

        * Added test for no valid value returned: in this case will now
        throw the error "invalid payload"

        * Added serialize() method to xmlrpcresp to return a string with
        the response serialized as XML

        * Added automatic encoding and decoding for base64 types

        * Added setDebug() method to client to enable HTML output
        debugging in the client

1999-07-08  Edd Dumbill  <edd@usefulinc.com>

        * Improved XML parse error reporting on the server side to send it
        back in a faultCode packet. expat errors now begin at 100

1999-07-07  Edd Dumbill  <edd@usefulinc.com>

        * Changed the structmem and arraymem methods of xmlrpcval to always
        return xmlrpc vals whether they referred to scalars or complex
        types.

        * Added the server class and demonstrations

        * Fixed bugs in the XML parsing and reworked it
