Servers can either be free standing, using SimpleXMLRPCServer, or embedded in a CGI environment, using CGIXMLRPCRequestHandler.\n\nThe !xmlrpc.server module is not secure against maliciously constructed data. If you need to parse untrusted or unauthenticated data, see xml-security.\n\nCreate a new server instance. This class provides methods for registration of functions that can be called by the XML-RPC protocol. The requestHandler parameter should be a factory for request handler instances; it defaults to SimpleXMLRPCRequestHandler. The addr and requestHandler parameters are passed to the socketserver.TCPServer constructor. If logRequests is true (the default), requests will be logged; setting this parameter to false will turn off logging. The allow_none and encoding parameters are passed on to xmlrpc.client and control the XML-RPC responses that will be returned from the server. The bind_and_activate parameter controls whether server_bind and server_activate are called immediately by the constructor; it defaults to true. Setting it to false allows code to manipulate the allow_reuse_address class variable before the address is bound. The use_builtin_types parameter is passed to the ~xmlrpc.client.loads function and controls which types are processed when date/times values or binary data are received; it defaults to false.\n\nCreate a new instance to handle XML-RPC requests in a CGI environment. The allow_none and encoding parameters are passed on to xmlrpc.client and control the XML-RPC responses that will be returned from the server. The use_builtin_types parameter is passed to the ~xmlrpc.client.loads function and controls which types are processed when date/times values or binary data are received; it defaults to false.\n\nCreate a new request handler instance. This request handler supports POST requests and modifies logging so that the logRequests parameter to the SimpleXMLRPCServer constructor parameter is honored.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Python Documentation under PSF-2.0.
