Re: [ovirt-devel] Killing XMLRPC on master

Hi all, We are still wasting time on maintaining both xmlrpc and jsonrpc. If we kill xmlrpc, we can greatly simplify the code base, making it easier to mainain and add new features. I suggest to kill xmlrpc in 4.1, and disable it *now* on master. Currently the we have 3 issues: 1. Mom is still using xmlrpc Mom must move to jsonrpc. Martin: can you update on progress of this work? 2. sos plugin using vdsClient Need to port it to use jsonrpc library, or jsonrpc client New jsonrpc client: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/35181 3. Engine is using xmlrpc server for ovf upload/download We must support current engine in 4.1, so we cannot remove upload/download feature in this version, but we can remove the xmlrpc support in this server. Currently we abuse the xmlrpc server, supporting PUT and GET for upload and download (XMLRPC is using only POST). We can disable POST requests in protocoldetector, and not register anything with the xmlrpc server.
