Has anyone got any examples of consuming an XML-RPC API?
I'm trying to automate an old version of RedHat Satellite, before they implemented a REST-compliant API.
It's quite easy to write python code against it using the xmlrpclib, so one idea I've been playing around with is to wrap Python scripts inside of a vCO action or script task. But I've never seen examples of how to use stdin / stdout /stderr of an external program, so there might be a lot of fiddling involved.
The ideal solution would of course be if there was a Python plugin for vCO but alas, no such beast exists it seems.
Alternatively, an XML-RPC module for JavaScript should be a workable solution, but I guess I'd need to load that library from outside of the vCO sandbox.
