GIMP XMLRPC-Server (crazy, unfinished)
December 30, 2007 - 00:38 — schumaml
This is an attempt at exposing GIMP funtionality as an XMLRPC web service.
This is not finished. It can probably not be finished that way it has been startedt. It will require a lot more code. Actually, putting GEGL behind such a thing makes much more sense.
Have a look at Xtns/Python to find the menu entry which does start the server.
But it does work, in an extremely limited way. You can e.g. change the current foreground and background colors... Have a look at the gimprpctest.py script for this.
To get an overview of what this XMLRPC server offers, point your browser to http://localhost:8000
Anf, of course, the buzzwords which make this a lot more understandable by the gernal public: Web 2.0, Webservices, AJAX ;)

smooth :)
Sounds like a cool end-of-the-year hack ;-) I was quite amazed when looking at the source -- thats all there is to it? Amazing.
Well, this is all there is
Well, this is all there is to it if you only want a barely funtional server (remember the "crazy, unfinished" from the title?). There will be a lot more effort to support all of GIMP's objects and types.
But I figured that really crazy stuff is what could get people's attention, which is desperately needed for this site.
