require 'xmlrpc/client'

require 'pp'



server = XMLRPC::Client.new2("http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping")

Simple XML-RPC in PHP (using cURL)

olleolleolle (Olle Jonsson) — Fri, 15 Sep 2006 18:32:54 GMT

Ping Technorati using cURL and XMLRPC extensions.



# Using the XML-RPC extension to format the XML package

$request = xmlrpc_encode_request("weblogUpdates.ping", array("Copenhagen Ruby Brigade", "http://copenhagenrb.dk/") );



# Using the cURL extension to send it off, 

# first creating a custom header block

$header[] = "Host: rpc.technorati.com";

$header[] = "Content-type: text/xml";

$header[] = "Content-length: ".strlen($request) . "\r\n";

$header[] = $request;



$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping"); # URL to post to

curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 ); # return into a variable

curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header ); # custom headers, see above

curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST' ); # This POST is special, and uses its specified Content-type

$result = curl_exec( $ch ); # run!

curl_close($ch); 



echo $result;

// You did a checkout when you really wanted to do an export.
// Now there are tons of .svn folders in your project, and you need them to go away.
// Shell scripting to the rescue.

find . -name ".svn" -exec rm -rf {} \;
