Getting information from remote server with XML-RPC

I want to connect to an xml-rpc service and then parse and display the information. I found the following lua module:

https://github.com/timn/lua-xmlrpc

Can this be made to work with Corona? It makes use of the Expat C library.

And if so, is it just a matter of including it in the app directory?

Thanks!

@bainem have you had any luck with this?

I've tried copying that library into a "xmlrpc" directory in my project, but when I try to use it with either of the following..

1
2
3
local xmlrpc = require("xmlrpc")
-- or
require "xmlrpc"

Help getting XMLRPC working!

I am also struggling to get this working.
I would like to be using xmlrpc with my Drupal services, but am unable to understand how to get the lua side installed/working.

I am new to lua (coming from AS3) and am also new to the Mac (OSX) and feel their needs to be some basic step by step on installing and using these 3rd party libraries.

This is the library: https://github.com/timn/lua-xmlrpc
and this a required library to use it: http://matthewwild.co.uk/projects/luaexpat/manual.html#introduction (The installation notes make no sense to me and I've tried all sorts of things).

I know Newbie questions can seem to dumb to answer if you're experienced, but there are lots of new comers that are experts in other fields and we would really appreciate your help.

Thanks

Any success with this?
