xmlrpc_dumpserver is a diagnostic XML-RPC server program. It executes any RPC it receives by printing to Standard Output its parameters.
$ xmlrpc_dumpserver -port=8080
xmlrpc_dumpserver runs an XML-RPC server that executes any RPC it receives by printing to Standard Output the fact that the call was made and its parameters.
The server executes any method (i.e. a call with any method name) the same as any other.
The RPC always fails, with a message explaining that it is a test server.
You can use this to test an XML-RPC client -- to see what it is really sending as a call and give it a valid response to process.
To get more detail about the call, use the XMLRPC_TRACE_XML environment variable.
The server executes the built-in ("system.*") methods normally. system.shutdown works.
If you direct Standard Output to a file, you'll need to shut down the server cleanly in order to flush the operating system output buffer to the file. You can do that by performing a system.shutdown RPC.
xmlrpc_dumpserver -port=tcpPortNumber
