[Demexp-dev] Informations for those who want to build an web interface for demexp

[Diogene Laerce]

The actual demexp server supports only HTTP connexion for now, but will
supports HTTPS soon.

It uses an *ONC* RPC interface, different from the XML-RPC that you can
find in most of the current web applications.

But you can find a python XML-RPC <-> ONC-RPC passerel on this adresse :

- To send your XML-RPC requests :

http://www.linux-france.org/cgi-bin/demexp-xmlrpc-official

- The sources (zip files on top of the page) at :

http://www.linux-france.org/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/demexp/xmlrpc-proxy

- Some code example uses it :

        - python :

http://www.linux-france.org/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/demexp/xmlrpc-proxy?f=fc0b5b82980b;file=test-xmlrpc.py

        - PHP (Augustin's code) :

http://drupal.org/project/demexp

For those who want to install their own server on their machine, for
testing purpose :

- login as : root, with password : demexp

You can also find a database (mybase.dmxp file) at :

If you encounter any trouble (server version for example), feel free to
contact David on this mailing-list.

Thanks to David for all these informations.
