[jira] Closed: (XMLRPC-18) Secure functionality is poorly documented, and difficult to get working.

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLRPC-18?page=all ]
     
Jochen Wiedmann closed XMLRPC-18:
---------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix
     Assign To:     (was: rpc-dev mailing list)

I am honestly respecting Martin's work. Nevertheless, this is still incomplete, after almost four years. I am closing this now. For version 3, I really suggest to use an SSL implementation like java.net or org.apache.httpclient on the client side and a serious servlet engine like Tomcat or Jetty on the server side,

> Secure functionality (e.g. using the SecureWebServer and SecureXMLRPCClient classes is poorly documented, and very difficult for a naive user to get to work correctly.
> The non-obviousness of the correct approach is illustrated by the failure of queries to rpc-users on how to get the attached sample code to work to generate any response.
