Hello,
As I understand Moodle can expose some APIs to trusted hosts? I would like to know where can I find the methods exposed _by default_ on a Moodle installation.
Thank you,
Catalin
Hi Catalin - have you seen the Web Services API document? If you let me know what's missing from that, I can try to improve it.

Hi,
Thank you for replying.
I have seen that document but I'm not clarified. I was wondering how can I find a complete list of methods exposed via XML-RPC... If "system/listMethods" does what it says (list methods) how can I access this via a web interface (like the WSDL for a web service)?
Also, the same for "system/methodSignature"... I need to know the method name first before finding the signature, isn't it?
I have found an implementation of xml-rpc (https://secure.linuxbox.com/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=moodle_xmlrpc) where I can see the name of the methods.
I'm also familiar with a WS implementation (MoodleWS — Intranet du Premier Cycle)
BTW. I would like to use xml-rpc as a communication method between Moodle and DotNetNuke (ASP.NET)
Thanks,
Catalin

Hi Catalin - just last night I updated a file called:
/mnet/testclient.php
It hadn't been updated for a long time, so I completely re-wrote it to be a "service browser" for remote Moodle sites. It shows logged-in administrators a list of hosts that they have configured relationships with.
Click on a host, and you see a list of services that they are offering to your Moodle. THE ADMINISTRATOR MUST HAVE ENABLED THE SERVICES FOR YOUR MOODLE, OR THEY WON'T APPEAR HERE.
Below this is listed the methods that the Moodle is offering to your Moodle. THE ADMINISTRATOR MUST HAVE ENABLED THE SERVICES FOR YOUR MOODLE, OR THE METHODS WON'T APPEAR HERE.
You can click on a service, and the browser will display only the methods that are enabled by that service (so it will actually display less information).
If you click on a method, the page will display the signature and description for that method.
The signature and description are generated automatically from the Moodle inline documentation. We borrowed some docblock-parsing software from another open-source project, so the descriptions, etc. will not be that excellent. I hope to get time to improve the documentation of some of the exported functions soon, so that this browser is more useful to people like you who are trying to use the software for integration with non-moodle projects.
If you can update your Moodle and test this code for me, I'd really appreciate it. I hope it's useful - if you have suggestions, can you add them as issues to the Moodle tracker?
Thanks Catalin

Hi,
1. I have copied the new file;
2. I (think) have installed a SSL certificate
but, when navigating to the /mnet/testclient.php in browser I get the following errors: (both on localhost and my public IP address)....
What did I do wrong ? I mean, I don't know if I didn't install something correctly or ?
Thank you,
Catalin
