Each C function constructs an XML document (XMLRPC, I think), dispatches it to the server, gets the reply, and unpacks the resulting XML. * Uses libxml2 to do the XML construction and parsing. * You have to supply your own HTTP library to pass the data to the server. The examples use libcurl for this. * Compiles with -Wall -Werror without warnings or errors. It seems reasonably sensible. It still requires the proprietary XenEnterprise to be installed for testing of course. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> It is possible that it might work with the XenAPI impl in the open source XenD too - worth a try if you want to develop something Daniel </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
