Constructor Details

#initialize(api, endpoint_uri, options = {}) ⇒ XmlRpc

Creates a new web service client using the XML-RPC protocol.

api must be an ActionWebService::API::Base derivative, and endpoint_uri must point at the relevant URL to which protocol requests will be sent with HTTP POST.

Valid options:

:handler_name

If the remote server defines its services inside special handler (the Blogger API uses a "blogger" handler name for example), provide it here, or your method calls will fail
