Hi,
I want to acces a ZCatalog via xmlrpc, but
server=xmlrpclib.Server("http://myserver.aixtraware.de" ,BasicAuthTransport(username="user",password="pw")) r = server.Catalog()
results in
<Fault -1: "Unexpected Zope exception: cannot marshal <type 'IOBTreeItems'> objects">
What is to do, to enable marshalling of those types ?
You could hack xmlrpclib to marshall those object, but I dont recommend it. Those objects can be big (but lazily evaluated), and you would be opening a significant denial of service vulnerability in your server. I suggest you create a method (Python Script?) that makes the catalog query, sanitizes the response by making sure it is not too big, and returns a vanilla list or dictionary
